Oldest original C-card around

I just relaminated a c-card replaced in 1990 ( after losing the original ).
Do people still have their original c-cards and does anyone like me use a
very old one to dive with when ID is necessary ( quite a few " is this card
for real looks " from the young'uns)?

Mine is currently dated 06/06/96 and is a NASDS Advance Diver Card
issued by Southern Tasmanian Divers. If memory serves Jak Denny was the
instructor. It contains the picture from my original Basic Divers FAUI
CARD from 1986 I have hair in it which I don't have now.

Not bad but mine is a 1990 ORIGINAL PADI Advance Diver replacement card.
Been using it ever since.

Leee still has his original card... He definitely gets strange looks when
he tries to use it... YMCA 1969 or so, IIRC...

I have an ACUC Scuba Diver card from 1986. It's the one I always
present.

Most people have never heard of ACUC, so that's ok, a card's a card.

On my last trip, the girl at the dive shop knew that ACUC had renamed
their certs to be the same as PADI's, meaning that Scuba Diver was
below OW1. Still didn't matter, I got my dives in.

I think there are cards on this ng old enough to be that ones daddy
though.

What makes you think it isn't?

Mine is original unlaminated with a bit of the bottom missing (breaking up)

It is dated 1/80 and is numbered A0541 of the National Qualification System.

I used it yesterday, though I leave it inside the plastic sleeve of the NGQ
passbook thing that holds my log and qualification register.

Now that you have mentioned laminating, I think I'll get mine done tomorrow
(we have a laminator in the office)
