PADI Shark Diver

My apologies to the OP, and all the respectable SB members providing helpful advice in this thread ...
But I couldn't help myself!
When I was living in North York, I'd often pass this shop along my way on Bathurst -

So I ended up taking this course down in Oz and it was fun. Saw a bunch of Grey Nurse sharks and Carpet Sharks (Wobbegongs) and one person even saw a lemon shark but today my C-Card arrived and being that its the shark specialty you'd think they'd send me the one with the shark on it. Instead I received the plain boring card that even claims non diving certification even though I needed 2 dives to do it. WOW PADI!!! That's just cheesy and there's no way I'm paying another $50 just to get that one. Put Another Dollar In!!!! Brutal!!!

Agreed.

Glad you had 2 good dives and saw sharks.

I cannot believe they did not at least put a shark on the card.

Ya the dives were good. Had a great time. Just odd that they have a card that has sharks and yet they don't use it. I'm actually quite surprised given the amount of multimedia work they've put into everything (books, posters, DVD's, crew packs etc) that they don't actually have a different picture for each specialty too. They seem to go all out on everything else and put together a nice package yet kinda fail on what seems like the most important part. I understand most peoples cards may never be seen again but still, finish it nicely. Oh well I'm a multimedia major and I guess it's me being the picky perfectionist lol. I swear it's both my greatest strength and weakness hahaha
