[Condition Blue]

Certified NASDS 1/1976, at the Scuba Center, Las Vegas, NV. The instructor was Jerry Sears. Like some others, the card was getting fragile so I sent it in to SSI and recived an AOW because of the specific instruction and amount of dives.

Joe Suchy was my instructor over at Scuba West in Cleveland. It's nice to see him mentioned on here by others. He was a fantastic instructor.

Certified 1968 by Don Wright at Hydro Terra Unltd. in Pittsburgh. No. 2729. The card's actually in pretty good shape. Sometimes just for fun I'll produce it when dive op folks ask for my C-card before a dive.

Certified in 1971 by Jack Dick at the Scuba Hut in Springdale, Arkansas. Received Open Water Instructor Certification at the 1972 Florida clinic in Pensacola. Card held together with tape. Always gets funny looks when I travel.
