This is a partial resume of my diving and maritime certifications and licenses.  I recently served almost 3 years as the program manager for the Tech XR Division of Scuba Schools International (SSI) so most of my courses are run through that agency although I maintain active status with a few agencies.  I have not listed every specialty course (altitude diver, navigation, etc) nor have I listed things like unit specific rebreather certifications as the list would be too long and the benefit of listing those items too small.  This is provided to give a general idea of the breadth and depth of my certifications for divers seeking an instructor, companies seeking consultants and legal entities considering my expert consultation services.   The list is fairly current, however, I do not maintain all of these certifications in an active status.  Keeping certs active requires the payment of dues to multiple agencies, tracking and reporting continuing education hours, certifications issued etc.  So as a practical matter I keep the certifications that I use routinely active (SDI, TDI, ERDI, IANTD and the USCG for the most part), the others I re-activate when required.  The certifications are listed alphabetically by category with no special emphasis to any one certifying agency.
