PADI Patches - Where do you get them and how do you wear them?

[liuk3]

if ur really tough, you get them tattooed...

 

[GrandpaScuba]

If you get enough of them, you can sew them together into a bikini that you can wear diving!

You got something against pink?

You know, I have a tollerance for pink to some degree but there's a line. My wife constantly rags me about it too. A subtle pink is ok, but doing pink like Professor Umbridge in the new Harry Potter movie is just torture! There's evil in that much pink I tell ya! :11:

IAnyone, no matter how horrible a diver they are, will pass any recreational PADI course and get their patches, except at the pro and technical levels. :lol:

simply isn't true

You can meet PADI standards and be a horrible diver.

not true again. If you read all of the standards it just isn't so

not true again. If you read all of the standards it just isn't so

Why can't they MEET the standards and still be horrible?

BTW Horrible depends on what you are looking at. . . someone with 50 dives thinks a beginner looks horrible in the water, the newbie looks at the guy with 50 dives and can be in awe. A diver with 2000+ dives can look at both and think the new diver is great and the guy with 50 dives is horrible. It is all about perception. . .

Yes you would be correct - it is the definition of horrible. But then again I thought Clinton was having sex...silly me

Horrible is an instructor with Spare Air diving Devil's Throat thinking he can bail at 125 feet in a cavern. Horrible is an instructor with gigantic free diving fins rototilling the reef with them. We could go on and on.

who know that they don't know what they don't know

This has to be the MOST asinine saying I have EVER had the displeasure of reading. And the worst part, it seems to come from so many people on this board.

Maybe we should define "diver". :shakehead
