He handed me a snap link, a BC, and some fins and told me to go and I went.
How would that work if I had shown up unable to swim? That isn't hurting the standards?

RL maybe they took one look at your mean ol' self and hoped you couldn't. Don't put to much stock in being issued that BC . . . probably didn't work, anyway. Just for show.
