Congratulations to both Jim and Lila! Well done! I think I have appreciated that card more than any other since getting my o/w card. So...now that you are dive sherpas, will you carry my gear? LOL

LOL. My brother, also a recent DM, referes to himself a "tank b**ch."

Cheers,
Lilla

I love it! May I use it for one of the boys I'm unmerciful to at the shop I support?

 

[SelkieDVM]

I'm sure he wouldn't mind (my bro, that is).

Congrats Jim & Lilla!
- Feels great doesn't it? Welcome to the club.
Jim, Sounds like you're working with some good folks. It's always nice if you have good people backing you. The part-time DM-ing your doing just might cover PADI membership & insurance fees. (If you're lucky.)
:-D
Well done! Cheers!

How much does the insurance usually run?

 

[Tortugar]

Insurance depends on what level you need, if your actively instructing or assisting and what time of year you purchase it.
Most PADI pros get dive insurance through Vicencia & Buckley.
Here's their website: Vicencia & Buckley Insurance Services, Inc. - Dive Insurance
and here's the link to the PDF with the rates, application, info, etc.: http://www.diveinsurance.com/downloads/PL-2008-09.pdf

Cheers!

Another insurance option is Witherspoon, which is what I carry. You can find rate info on their website.
