What's My Number?

[TheRedHead]

Why would you ignore that? It's ridiculous.

They're huge numbers too. You could never remember any of them. I have 2 different numbers from TDI, which I think is odd because they are a small agency. :huh:

I am OW & AOW Padi - a LONG time ago, so long that the card is delaminating. I am NAUI Rescue cert so I use that with a note NAUI SSN. It's a lot easier than trying to remember an 11 digit number that I can't read anymore.

I find it amusing that most places automatically assume that all divers have a number.

I think next time someone asks me for my number on a form, I'll just write Φ.

(That's upper-case phi, in case anyone's wondering. It's one of my favorite numbers, although pi and e are more well-known.)

Have you considered adding all the numbers up and dividing by the number of cards.. giving you a "representivie" number?

I just use the last 4 of my S.S. number. Never had a problem.

Clay, dude... you crack me up! Only you would know those numbers! I sure don't know 'em! Though I do vaguely remember something about "pi" when I was in high school.... isn't it something like 3.14.... or is it 7.14.....? I'll stick to med math/dose and drip rate calculations... it's easy.

Sorry for the hijack.:blinking: Now, back to the regularly scheduled program...

I do like your phone number idea in place of the cert number in log books! That's a good suggestion!

Well, for PADI, that'd give a mathematically trivial result. As the numbers are serial numbers (per course), halving the number assigned to a diver's brand new certification will give you the average number over all the divers up to that point.

3.1415925

Well, 3.14159265358979323846... (that's all I bothered learning of the non-repeating, non-terminating irrational number that is pi. )

Why does a certification card need a number anyways All the card signifies is that a person has been trained to dive.

Why does a certification card need a number anyways

Why does a card need a number? Why does a log need a signature? Um...

The answer, my friend, is... er... blowing in the wind?

 

[trucker girl]

If I am asked to sign a logbook for a buddy, I do so, and will generally only list my number if I know the person is anal about their logging (Uh, hum... Trucker Girl ). Now, if I've written my number in their book before, I'm likely to tell them to look it up.

You are sooooo busted! I resemble that remark!


I just wanted to make sure you had a C-card... I mean, after seeing you dive and all... that's terrible! I'm j/k! erparamedic is a great diver!
