I was looking at my collection of c-cards and NONE of them say I am certified for confined water. Several say Open Water and various versions of Open Water. One says that I can only dive to Rescue folks. So I cannot use that one for recreational purposes. One claims I am rich (there's a joke) and can only dive in Air -- not water it says ENRICHED AIR DIVER right on the card. Yet another says I can have dive slaves (although showing that card means I get all the grunt work and never really get to tell anyone to do anything anyway).
So I am up for a pool card. Usually when I am in the pool diving, I am with an instructor and a few others. This must make it OK for me, a non-certified confined water diver, to be int eh water. Someday I want to be able to do it by myself. OOPS -- I mean with a competent Buddy with similar dive goals and all that.
