Thal... straight from the AAUS web site:
Certification
The American Academy of Underwater Sciences offers AAUS Verification cards directly through our website for AAUS members that have been trained through a participating organization and are active scientific divers. The process is quick and easy! Click this link to begin the purchasing your AAUS Scientific Diver Verification of Training Card."
This card is not intended to be used in lieu of a Letter of Reciprocity and Training Verification when requesting reciprocity from or transferring authorization to another AAUS organizational member.
Sooooo..... What's it good for? I couldn't accept it for anything to do with scientific diving. Any university that has a scientific diver program that certifies 60 foot scientific divers will usually issue a recreational card as well.
