Do
not thing of having an ID card as simply a
means for beaucrats to keep track of you,
it means unqualified Guides and Instructors
without any professional certifications should
not find work in the region, making it easier
for you to find employment.
Also, If you have any genuine complaints or
grievances against your employer, (divecentre,
safari boat), you will find a friendly team
at the Association office (next to Bulls Restaurant)
who may be able to help and advise you.
This
last point in particular makes having this
card worthwhile.
To
obtain the ID card as a scuba diving professional,
applicants must provide RSDASS with the following:
1.
A complete and clearly filled out application
form from the RSDASS office.
2.
