PADI Certification Number

Hello

I was wondering about my certifications number. Will it change when I
go from fx OWD to AOWD or will I continue to have my number until i
become a instructor (I know they use a different number series).

Best regards

Lars Skov-Dethlefsen

I can't say in re: OW --> AOW because my OW is from a different agency than
PADI. But I did get PADI AOW and then went on to get several speicalty ratings
from PADI including Nitrox, and all the cards have different cert #s.

You'll get a new number when you become a divemaster.

It only changes if you use a different currency to pay for it...

My number changed. On a side note, I have the same coral scene on
both of my cards.

Be sure not to let the number of cards surpass the number of dives.

Can you get more than 22 cards?

We're talking about PADI, right?

Not so. I did PADI advanced as a "refresher course" after a couple
years hiatus from diving, and did my drysuit training at the same time.
Got two cards for my effort, each with a different number on it...
