What is "C card"?

ライセンスカード
ライセンスカード

Maybe some people think "What is C card?", even though they have heard the name.

In general, it is called "Scuba Diving License". But it is not kind of the license distinctly, it is a certificate. Internationally, it is common to call "Certification-Card". So we call it C card in Japan. This C card shows that you met the course requirements about the scuba diving with the general knowledge and skills (Guideline) at "the certain site" on "the specific season". Thus, this doesn't mean to guarantee the knowledge and skills in the future as of the day you earned the C card.
