Getting STINAPA tags has changed

[boat sju]

Maybe STINAPA should sell tags just as a souvenir.

This is going to cause big issues. I don't carry ID when diving....no place to keep it nor do I carry a phone. This is a bad idea.

From what I have read all we have to do is carry a printout and a c-card. Toss it in the glove box and we're good.

That being said I hate it.

How do you get to the dive site? Don't you drive? Don't you need a driver's license?

 

[herman]

Yes I drive but I dont'/ haven't carried ID for the last 20 years on island.

So do we still have to be "oriented" to the island and listen to what sometimes seems like an informercial from the local resorts?

We still get plastic tags in Tobermory.....

You collect tags (I do)? Come on up, the water is [not] warm...

I've never carried my license with me either.

I was just down in Bonaire last week (trip report coming soon) but the tag process has changed. You now have to buy you tags online and you don't get a physical plastic one for you BCD. You can print them out or just keep them on your phone for them to check on demand. I am putting the link to their site for everyone's convenience.

Appreciate the link. My brother hadn't mentioned the change. Nobody mentioned the price increase either. Would have been a pain to show up Friday and find this out. Not a real surprise, but, like some others, the tags were a neat souvenir.

Orientation is step 2 and done online before you pay.

Looks like that part is easier.

Still need to get tanks and weights, but an afternoon arrival means possible same day diving
