What is Your Affiliation?

[shotthebreeze]

I know its not really important, but I'm just wondering who was certified where. If you want - post your certification story. I'm eager to see the results and hear some stories.

Can't pick more than one. NAUI, NASDS/SSI, IANTD.

you can only vote once? I am ow-PADI, AO/W, EANx-NAUI. My O/W course was through the local Community college in Austin, which was a sweet deal, $115 to get cert. Strangly enough, I failed the class but still got my certification....The course was a blast, the instructer allways had some entertaining anecdote and these fins that looked like the came off a giant duck.

I have certs from PADI and IANTD, and I've taken a class with GUE. I also have an observer rating with NOAA, but that's not really a certification as such.

In any case, I don't consider myself "affiliated" with any agency.

PADI got me started, and the story of that is linked in my signature.

NAUI was my Nitrox cert.

Since then, it's been GUE.

YMCA, SDI/TDI, NAUI, GUE, IANTD, NAUI Tech ...

I picked NAUI because it was my most recent. But have PADI OW, AOW, and Nitrox, SSI Stress and Rescue, and NAUI Master Scuba Diver.
