I just had a bizarre experience with NAUI. I wanted to replace my Nitrox card because it was falling apart. But they had no student records prior to 2005. So I had to provide a copy of my card, birth date, and other information.

I was a NAUI instructor for 27 years, until I retired from the university where I was teaching. But I was no longer in their records. What happens now to my former students who want to replace their cards?
 
Ask NAUI. Sounds Silly but they would know best. I believe their old records are on paper and require hand finding.

NAUI needs to enter the 21st century. I'll bet PADI has digitized their old records.
 
They ask you for your name, your birthday (Which they later told me they didn't have on the majority of their records anyway), your instructors name, and the date you were certified on. Then they go away for a few hours and email you your certification numbers, which in most cases they create because the old cards didn't have numbers on them, only your name etc.

Really was not that bad.

ALSO there was no cost when I recently did this for 3 divers that were going on a trip with us where the operator required that we produce dive cert numbers......
