Just got my certification card in the mail. Terrible picture, but that doesn't matter.

Do people keep a log-book and their cards? It seems like just one more thing to take on a vacation.

PADI just started this new e-card thing. Basically its your cert card on your smartphone.

Maybe I'm an idiot but I don't understand this at all. I've been snorkeling hundreds of times and I always dive with my snorkel in my mouth. That way I can blow air through it to clear it when I surface and never have to raise my head above water.

I had a learning experience with "why to spit the snorkel out", but that was the type of snorkel more than anything else.

I grabbed one of the fancy-pants dry snorkels from the boat I worked on and imploded the drat thing at about 25ft. Once the little diaphragm bottom purge thing blows you pretty much have a straw.

If I want to keep my face down after freediving I just wait until I'm about 5 feet to the surface before putting the mouthpiece back in.

Stupid fancy-pants gear, mo parts mo problems.
