Probably about 7 years ago out here on the west coast.LOL When was that? I've used that card for grins and giggles numerous times and have only been turned away once in Florida if I recall.
Carry the AOW and the Nitrox and you'll get keys to the executive washroom.:mooner:
One unfortunate benefit of presenting a divemaster or instructor card is you may get paired with a newby diver that you will get to rescue 10 minutes into your dive. Don't ask me how I know this.
...At our age we get checked over less. A dingy shirt from another dive location seems to work very well. You could probly use a Power Ranger card ok...
I also carry ... my tech DM
Never heard of a tech DM cert. Which agency offers this? Sorry in advance for the hijack.
