New PADI DM!

[Peter Guy]

but at least I FOUND the paperwork! Now all I need is:

a. Lynne's signature; and

b. Either a current EFR card OR a letter from a Doctor which says she is current in her First Aid and CPR techniques!

(Although I do need to do an EFR class to keep current, maybe.....)

Congrats Lynne. The PNW just got a whole lot luckier with the addition of you to its already rich pool of dive professionals.

Peter, let me get this straight. You need a letter from a doctor, that Lynne (an emergency room doctor) can perform CPR and first aid? I really do hate bureaucracy.

Kalatin -- Nope, do not need the letter from the Hospital -- She can just do a normal EFR course and that will suffice! Either the letter saying she is "up to speed" or the EFR cert!

Nah, bureaucracy would be if she HAD to take the EFR class. Requiring the letter seems to be away around the bureaucracy. I can see them requiring a PADI EFR cert even if you are a Dr....
