Okay, now that the subject may have caught your attention ... Is it standard for San Diego boat operations NOT to ask to see cert cards before taking off for a dive?
We were in SD this past weekend, did a boat dive, and at no time did
they ask to see our cert cards, or even ask for our cert number. All we had to do was sign their waiver. Not that a lot of people are going to pay the $ for a boat dive if they aren't certified, I just thought it a little strange (to say the least).
Every place else we have gone on a boat, they insist on at least seeing the cert card.
Anyhow, just curious ...
