    Default Emerald Paperwork

    I was reading through the qualifications to dive Emerald and it asks for proof of 100 dives since Full Cave. Does my Abe Davis count or do I need to kill a tree and copy several log books?

    Sounds stupid I know but you never know unless you ask.


    Thanks in advance

    I would hope that the AD would suffice.

    AD is enough proof since you were supposed to show proof of 100 dives post full cave to get AD.

    I sit on this committee. The Abe Davis is adequate,as well as Wakulla Bronze.

    Wakulla Bronze was good enough for Indian and Emerald.

    Sweet. I was hoping not to have to round up a number of different logbooks.

    Well, for that matter then, does a Cave Instructor cert count?

    IANTD would cover it.
