Good morning.
Again, here I am, with a basic "how is it meant to be used" question.
Having stacked quite a few certifications/brevets I was wondering: How is the certification field "meant" to be used?
Do I just specifiy the "highest" viable certification there?
(CMAS ** for nomal dives, Nitrox ** for nitrox, Apnea 1 for pool freediving, Apnea *** for "sea freedives")
Or did I get that complete wrong?
Thanks!
Stefan.

Re: Usage of the certification-field
I originally added it to record what level I was at the time, eg how many dives I did as an OW, etc.
As with anything else, it's up to you - ignore it if you like, or use it however you see fit! Instructors could use it to specify what course they were teaching at the time, for example.

Ah. Wouldn't that actually be a nice "automatic" feature, as if you added the certifications right, you have all the info in the database anyway?nick wrote:I originally added it to record what level I was at the time, eg how many dives I did as an OW, etc.
Although it probably wouldn't be that easy, as certifications nowadays are more complicated than just "this one is more advanced than this one", considering all the special courses.
Interesting approach - also with difficulties though (as instructors could in fact teach multiple courses in one dive :-S )nick wrote:As with anything else, it's up to you - ignore it if you like, or use it however you see fit!

I think I will just keep using it in the "highest qualification viable for that specific dive". Seems most straight forward.
Thanks for the answer!
