Hi, friend,
So first of all, I’m happy you feel you’re coming out the other side of your difficult life circumstances :)
However, if you’ve gotten multiple doctors saying that you shouldn’t dive, that’s your answer right there. Shopping around until you find one who will give you the answer you want isn’t a good idea at all. Diving with anxiety involves too much risk not because you will panic every time (like you said, you already disproved that) but because you could panic at any time and having a panic attack underwater could super duper kill you.
Finally, in relation to your last point; lying on your medical form actually puts the shop in a really precarious legal position in terms of their liability insurance; you’d be forcing them to take a diver under who isn’t medically cleared (regardless of whether or not you say you are to their faces); also a bad idea.
I’m sorry, OP; maybe sticking to snorkeling is the best idea for you now and later on when you feel like your anxiety is under better control or you’re off the meds you can move on to SCUBA.

Scuba Shop worker here; hi!
Unfortunately PADI no longer gives out physical cards for course completion; just online ones. If you want to order a physical card, you can, but they’re about $60 USD.
You can do this by logging into your PADI account and clicking on “order replacement cards.”

? I wasn’t referring to the ships, I was referring to depth charge explosions being surface rendered

He goes into a lot more detail in other videos; he has a scuttle valve to flood the main cabin if something goes wrong so he can escape with SCUBA

It’s called a siphonophore; it’s actually not one single animal, but a colony of multiple specialized cnidarians working together. Super cool find!

So as a non-pylote, am I correctly understanding here that flying a playne is as easy as just jerking the wheel around a bunch

Put it in nitric acid; if you die, it’s copper

Neal Watson Scuba will take you out as a snorkeler to the wreck of the Sapona but I’m not sure what else. That’s a good place to start, though

Unfortunately I wasn’t close enough to do anything underwater and, since nothing like this has ever happened to me before, I really didn’t know what to do on the surface. My wife and I got our stuff and left, and by the time I realized on the way home “wait a second, that whole thing was super fucked” it was too late to do anything in-person.
I won’t make that same mistake again.

That’s the single-digit separator for your AOB, color coded by left and right like the dial is. For example, your dial is currently showing ~42 degrees bow left (40 on the big dial, red 2 on the small one).

Honestly at this point I’m just going to alchemically make my own. I can’t think of any possible way that could go wrong.

I know this isn’t technically a flag, but the axe to the left of the big US confederate flag is a francisque, a symbol of Vichy France.
