How many of us still have our 1st c card ? Who has the oldest and by what agency ? I still have my green paper 1968 C Card from YMCA and a 1969 white paper card from NAUI .................


1973 from the Princeton NJ YMCA
 
My PADI Advanced is dated 04/26/81

I don't know what happened to my OW card but I got that in '78.
 
My original cards from NAUI, SSI, and NASDS (1970) were lost. I replaced the NAUI one in 1973 and it came with THAT year date instead of the original year. The other cards have not been replaced and SSI gave me such a hassle about it, I don't plan to.
 
Yah, '68 Y card, it's worn down to the size of a postage stamp but my name is still visible.
All the people in the class had been diving for quite a while; it was the first time a cert course had been offered in the area. Even the dive shop owner was in the class. We never bothered to do any open water dives. :wink:
Our "standard drill" consisted of turning off other people's air, mask snatching, etc. Did it on my double hose Nemrod Snark III.

nice to see so many "old timers"

i have a very new PADI card, September, 2001 (my first)

(i got it before 9-11. needless to say, 9-11 pretty much ruined any joy i
had in getting the card...it was a bad couple of months)

PADI Open Water - June 2004 here (hey, at least I'm not the newest of the newbies).

Andy, you think you had you joy ruined by 9/11? My wife and I were married on 9/11/99. Happy Anniversary!
 
dang, no kidding... my birthday is 9-14 so... sort of a double whammy
 
Oh well, at least I won't ever get in trouble for not remembering our anniversary.
 
Dove without card until 1978 then got NAUI, card fell apart, got another in 85, that fell apart, another in 2002. I have no number, just instructor name
