Hi Pierre,

Yes, I have been waiting for 5 mixed gas CCR certs since February.

I am now dealing direct with the TDI Training Manager in the USA.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper

If any instructor is stradding the fence between the 2 agencies, here is a tangent note...

Simon Pridmore is the new franchise holder for IANTD-UK, and doing a great job as far as getting certs and merchandises out in a timely manner. And is a great and reliable guy to work with as well.

We all know it is NOT about which agency, but the instructor who makes the difference...

Simon is a nice guy, I have had a number of 'chats' with him recently......

Yes. My wallet got stolen in november last year with all my c-cards in it. I have been trying to get a replacement trimix c-card ever since. I've had several email exchanges where they say they will replace it but they never send anything in the post. Well pissed off here.

Any instructors want to issue me an IANTD trimix c-card? (for the admin fee) I have email evidence of the TDI one.

Andy,

Ring Sean Harrison TDI Training Manager on

001 207 729 4201 (In the USA)

or email him at

seanh@tdisdi.com

I could do you a crossover to PSAI but it will involve a weekends checkout diving @ £150 per day.

I am sure you will find it cheaper to just insist with TDI.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Ta. Strangely enough I have been having no problem getting trimix fills, CCR O2 fills and doing OC trimix dives with overseas dive centres using just my TDI Advanced Gas Blender card which, fortunately wasnt in the wallet at the time of theft.

They seem to be unable to read - the word "trimix" is in the description, so that appears to be sufficient

Cert issues are not confined to TDI, suffice to say, I gave up waiting for my Nitrox Blender cert and will soon be doing the Instructor cert.
