Some of you may not know it but SSI offers a special certification card to divers who have reached the 5,000 dive mark. It's called the Platinum Pro 5,000 Elite Award ( or something like that).
Well I'm at that level and am going to apply for the card. Only problem is that as a requirement for consideration you also need a written letter of recommendation from 2 Platinum Pro 5,000 Elite cardholders. The list of divers on SSI's website holding this rating is fairly huge. (I was actually shocked when I saw it) SSI tells me to peruse the list and see if I recognize anyone. It turns out that that's kind of hard to do the way they have it set up and I only recognized Jacque Cousteau and a couple others so far and I don't think they can help me out. So, I'm wondering if anyone here in the Ohana is such a member or knows who I might contact locally to get this moving.
Please post any leads you may have here. Thank you!!
