Its in the mail Jim, along with your training guide on OMS dual-bladder
wings, oh, with my bill for $1000 :-)

No I realize its pretty simple to dive, it would just be nice to
be legit for the mix when you travel.  Well legit in the sense that
you have the merit badge.  

As it stands, the games one must play to get a c-card saying
you know what you already know just aren't worth it.  And then
people wonder why everyone isn't diving it.

Maybe this is just like nitrox delayed by a few years...
