While I am in complete agreement on the C-card expiration issue, I have a few questions. Like most regulatory issues, the idea is sound, but enforcement is difficult.

Being in the aviation industry, I have seen more than my share of 'pencil whipped" logs. Why would an infrequent diver who needs retraining / refresher the most not just pencil in a bunch of beach dives?

Additionally, what about the multiple card carrying divers. Do you feel all agencies (including your favorites TDI and IANTD) will enact retroactive expiration on their cards?

Just a thought.

Best regards,
