Hi everyone,
I am thinking of taking the online beginner Nitrox (Ean) course as I live about a 2 hour drive from a diveshop that offers the standard brick and mortar classroom sessions and the obligatory 2 checkout dives prior to getting a certification card.
The training will be a brush up, as I was a US ARMY Dive Medic and a lot of time was spent on diving physiology, using mixed gas, and nonrebreathers (Draager closed circut) and hyperbaric chamber operations. But that was also 20 years ago (geeze how time flies).
Has anyone had problems getting a dive store to honor the Nitrox certification card if it does not come from one of the large certification agencies?
It lists SBA as the certifing agency.
I would appreciate your input.
Thank you!
Mike
