    The NACD or the NSS-CDS do NOT provide a free membership with a certification card. Having a certification card doesn't mean you are a member. You have to pay dues to be a member either annual or lifetime sustaining. If you are still confused by this please remind me before ever diving with me, or PM me and I will explain it to you.

The poll is about membership (ongoing support), not certification.
    The above is correct.

    I and many other people are playing members of GUE. So my answer tot the original question should be GUE. (Not GUE Cave1)

    Fair comment, but with it's internal organisation, support for cave exploration projects that do environmental science, and environmental baseline projects (many of them in caves around the world) it does a lot of cave conservation work.. I'd have said it has some credentials in that area and is an association that is arranged around it. Though the ocean diving prevents it from being a pure "cave diving association".. that much I will concede..

    Let's not confuse the certification agency issue with the cave project/conservation issue though.

    FInally i- the Poll didn't mention cave conservation either - just Cave diving associations.. just pointing out y'know

    Apparently you didn't read the original question. Are you a member of NACD, NSS-CDS, both, or neither?

    it seems so easy doesn't it. I could have never predicted that so many people would be so adamant to be recognized for their GUE certs.

    Concerning this poll I´m only member of the CDS.

    Concerning the next survey about ALL cave diving associations, please don´t forget the Cuban "Grupo Cársico" and the German "Forschungstaucher Aach"
