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

Really?

Nice pin/patch there for your avatar.

LMAO!!!!!! I had to chuckle at this one! Other than that...I am keeping my mouth shut! He's actually given me something to "ponder" .

ANYWAY.....a lil off subject:

As I am typing this.., the "KISS Rebreather" add is flashing in the corner of the window ! YOWZA!

Badges, patches, Tshirts, golf shirts, caps.... most of us have some of these related to diving and wear them. I like the ones with centers I have dived and/or worked with, for me it's a sign of loyalty and respect for those people and it's also a good conversation starter. There are "cooler" ones than others (I´ve seen a LOT of people walking around with TDI, DIR Rebreather shirts and caps) and most dive centers are overflowing with "Dive Pirates" - I have two PADI patches that came with the kits...my Rescue Diver patch is ironed on the front of my ageing and otherwise plain black cordura logbook and I'm still trying to work out what to with the OWSI badge....:doh2:

If someone wants to walk around looking like a card-collecting poser desperate to impress or get some sort of status thats up to them. However i reserve the right to mock them for doing so.

Why WOULD anyone want to show off the patches?! Especially as they're cheap bits of cloth showing they've completed something extremely easy and simple. It's not as if they're in the SAS or an astronaut.

If they're an astronaut they probably will be wearing a NASA badge.... if they're SAS you can be damn sure they won't...it's when the instructor says: "My name is Jock Rock but you will call me STAFF" that they give the game away...

I get on the *PADI* boat, somebody carries my stuff.

having your own boat earned me the patch, I had to worry about the weather and making it back to the line and my dog drowning and the rotten mooring line and relations with the coasties.:coolingoff:

...docking, I want that patch.

I don't have the boat owner/diver patch but I do have the card .........it says VISA on it.
