I do not care to have them on a wall at the house because it just reminds me that I am in a house and not on a boat.
Ya If I was say YouTube - PADI Audition then yes a bikini made from patches would be cool, unfortunately, for me it would just be gross.How about a bikini made out of badges... That'd be interesting.
OK so you have been doing the instruction game awhile and now you have a pile of nice badges that came with your certifications. If you do a search here on SB you will discover that there is a stigma against displaying them proudly on a dive trip. OK so what do you do with them? There is not any rank in diving but we do say things like a "higher level of diving" so how come I cant display my badges? I earned them, they gave them to me? and they might save me from listening to a nublits silly story about the time he dove to 60 ft and almost died when he discovered he had 300# of air.
I do not want to be the "look at me, I'm the Dude" kind of thing but I would like it known That I can teach 10 specialties if that were the case.
My latest idea is to sew them to my dive bag, that way it is not in your face on my chest or anything, but subtle. any thoughts Ideas on placement of the badges or should I just toss them and . unfortunately I was in the USMC and I like the Badges, What am I to do?
