Jerry Lang Wins Platinum Pro Divers Award

[Linda]

I've been meaning to get this posted and got busy... (sorry I didn't do it sooner, Jerry!)

Jerry Lang (seahuntjerry) was presented with this award at DEMA last month. It is the Scuba Schools International Platinum Pro 5000 Divers award. It is for divers who have a minimum of 2500 logged dives and have also made contributions to diving. You can only recieve this award by nomination by other Platinum Pro award winners. Sam Miller, Ron Pavellka and Tom Stone all recommended Jerry to the SSI award committee. Jerry also had three letters from Joe Grafft, chairperson of the American Heart Association (AHA), Ernie Kramer, AHA affiliate, and Dale Koch. This was for promoting and teaching diver safety. Jerry was also one of the first CPR instructors in Minnesota. Also listed was his involvement in vintage diving, Sea Hunt collecting, and working with the Historical Diving Society.

Alec Peirce also recieved this award. Actress Zale Parry from Sea Hunt was there for the presentation.

So there you have it -- a round of applause for Jerry Lang!!!

Yes, congratulations and amazing that 2500 dives were logged and you can remember where you put all the log books. Wow!

Jerry, I am in awe of this accomplishment. As one who loves diving, but has to really fight and mostly dive solo to get into the water (Oregon is not all that conducive to lots of dives), I cannot fathom (pun intended) getting to where you are now. My sincerest congratulations.
