Has anyone successfully obtained college credit for PADI courses?

I obtained PADI credit for a college course. Does that count?

A single credit college course I took on SCUBA ended up cross qualifying me for an advanced PADI card. The professor was also a PADI instructor & the PADI requirements were a small subsection of the college course curriculum.

Hahahahaha. I can't tell you how many times I said this when trying to sell more classes.

The dive shops in Phoenix haven't caught on to that opportunity yet.

When you dive at lake Pleasant, the water's edge often puts you just outside the limits for not doing an altitude correction. Technically, it IS an altitude dive, unless the lake level is VERY low. The lake is a few hundred feet deep & the level moves a lot. I've seen trees rooted in the ground at depths below 75'.

The real kicker, comes when you leave that place. The road out of there goes up & over a mountain. That always breaks the altitude limits if you don't spend some time off gassing at the water's edge before you leave.

I always did SLED calcs when diving there.

I can’t understand all this interest in collitch credit for scuba diving.
When I went to NYU in the 70’s, as part of prelaw, I spent six months with the NYPD kicking down doors in the East Village, six months with the NYFD in the busiest fire station in the world then in the South Bronx, and six months on Rikers Island as a counselor for two 240-cell cellblocks where I only had two guys commit suicide in front of me.
The only dive option then was looking for weighted bodies in the Gowanus Canal.
