Well, I completed a somewhat loose "class" in a recent trip I took, and have yet to recieve the cert card.
this is a PADI cert
details asside, I am wondering:
1. what process does an instructor have to go through (as far as paperwork goes) to get a diver certified in nitrox. Does he have to send in a paper seperate from the students "cert packet" to confirm to PADI that the student is certified? Is there only the cert packet that the dive instructor gives the student?
basically, an instructor claims that he gave me the packet to send into padi to get my card. Unfortunatly, I really do not think he did. It was discussed, however in the end time did not allow, and he had planned on sending it to me in the mail.
either way, maybe i somehow lost the packet, or maybe he just didnt send it to me. I want to know exactly what needs to be done. I paid 150 bucks for the class, and am going to the USVI and BVI in a month, so I need to get the card.
Thanks for any help!
p.s. mods: if this might be better answered in a different forum, please let me know!
edit: my point in question 1, is that i am hoping if perhaps the actual "packets" are easy to come by and the important part is the instructor sending a sepereate letter in (that he could NOT have accidently not sent in and blaimed on me) that I might be able to just get a packet from a local dive shop.
