Organization Membership

[victorzamora]

I've heard a lot of people talking about the lack of active membership in the NSS-CDS and NACD. With the recent musical chairs in the NACD and the complete lack of opposition in the NSS-CDS in the current election, it sounds like people are on to something.

So: What are you a member of and why? If none, why not?

CDS-access to Cow primarily. Current as of last fall, let membership lapse while I was away from cave diving due to proximity, only member for cave access
NACD-no current membership, have full cave certification through them and they have cool logo gear, but don't get anything out of being a member with them which is why I am no longer active
NFSA-believe they're doing incredible things for cave and spring conservation, far and beyond what CDS/NACD are doing *I understand MAG's conservation efforts are tremendous, but he is doing it with support from everyone and would be doing it on his own even if he wasn't Conservation Director for NACD
FSI-see NFSA

What he said.
Cds for cow
Nacd no interest after all of their bs(at least for a while)
Nfsa-probably doing the most obvious good

Nss-cds, nacd, nfsa.

Hmmm. I typed them in all caps, but they posted with only the first letter capitalized.

CDS - Underwater Speliology is much better and more regular than NACD Journal.
NACD - Still too burned by what happened to consider membership again.


iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

Was a member of NSS-CDS when I wanted to dive Cow. Probably should be be a NFSA member. Never heard of FSI.

NSS-CDS - Certified through them, Really enjoy diving Cow, Like the magazine, and I enjoy the folks I have met at their gatherings.

NFSA - I like the work that is done and have enjoyed several volunteer opps.

NACD - Considered it the past, maybe some day...

Nacd, no idea why beside the magazine. Not like it opens up any dive site for me.

Will get nss-cds when. I finally dive cow.

My cave training is thru naui and dpv cave by TDI

Good group, I support them.

As a new cave diver, I joined NSSCDS to see what they were all about. I do like the magazine and the idea of access to Cow (though never been) If I see orgs doing good, then I may join them.
