Hello
I have several hundred dives logged but It has been 25+ years since my last dive other than my trip to St Andrews State Park last summerI have had the opportunity to dive many of the WWII wrecks off the coast of the Carolina's.and one of my most terrifying experiences being a German U Boat at the 300+depth where i had to decompress which I never want to do again.
Anyway, now I am slowly getting back into sport diving buying a piece of gear here and there to replace what has dry rotted over the time my old gear has been in storage.Knowing now what time can do to expensive diving gear I plan on buying cheap this time because I don't plan on going past 40' any more and see no reason to sink several hundred dollars on a first and second stage reg.
I found a place on line that caters to fat guys so now I have a new shorty wet suit and I am all set to by my BC
I am now disabled so I have limitations, Right now I am just snorkeling until I can get conditioned.
I am having difficulty trying to attain my certification card because PADI has no record of my open water cert because it has been 35 years since I certified.
Any Ideas of what I can do to attain my card other than re-certifying?
