Hello

I was wondering about my certifications number. Will it change when I
go from fx OWD to AOWD or will I continue to have my number until i
become a instructor (I know they use a different number series).

Best regards

I can't say in re: OW --> AOW because my OW is from a different agency than
PADI. But I did get PADI AOW and then went on to get several speicalty ratings
from PADI including Nitrox, and all the cards have different cert #s.

You'll get a new number when you become a divemaster.

It only changes if you use a different currency to pay for it...

Not so.  I did PADI advanced as a "refresher course" after a couple
years hiatus from diving, and did my drysuit training at the same time.
  Got two cards for my effort, each with a different number on it...

I blame my uncaffinated state.

My number changed.  On a side note, I have the same coral scene on
both of my cards.

Be sure not to let the number of cards surpass the number of dives.

Hehe.  I should have said more than 21 cards, too.

How many would you like? How much money do you have?

Yes, it will change.  The number is automatically generated and,
through some formula that I am not privy to but am told exists, you
can determine when your PIC was received at PADI International.
