    Yep, TDI card says "Full Cave Diver". NACD card says that I have "... satisfactorily completed a course in Cave Diving" No pictures, but then I don't look like the faded picture on my PADI card any how.

    No, Forrest wasn't certified in '93. Certifiable, maybe. Certified, no way.

    Alas, I seem to post wayyyyyyy too much personal info on the web. So I'm trying to cut back. Nevertheless. I will post the back o my cave card. I don't look like that young girl anymore anyway!

    Nope, I wasn't "certified" until 2002

    And what is with rule #4 "(3) battery powered lights"? Are they against nuclear power?

    You have to have the special carbide lamp endorsement on your card.

    Don't laugh. I used to use carbide lamps all the time in sumps. No, they don't work *under* the water, but with a piezo striker, they come right on when you get to the other side of the sump.

    Read the book. There's a story of a carbide lamp going through a sump. I have more details on that fiasco.

    BTW, you have an RTG??????? Kewl!
