This is the 21st century. (Almost) everyone has a smartphone. If an agency provides an eCard, you will probably have the app on your phone. No dive op would be difficult if you show your cards through the app. It’s better than a picture even though pictures can be useful.
 
SDI/TDI doesn’t have an app. You can get a PDF of your card off their website. Save to your phone. No app needed. This is not rocket science.
 
If a shop can't deal with an electronic card/picture, they deserve to go out of business, IMO.
 

Hmm, kind of reminds me of someone.... oh, that's right...

"That's why I love high school girls. I keep getting older and they just stay the same age. Alright, alright, alright."

Good lookin' guy. Still sporting that mullet?
 
I spend $1000 on a course I damn well expect a card — and the manual for that matter.
 
Do we assume you’ve only used one agency?

I’ve four agencies plus the DAN Europe idiots. Just hang on whilst I get the details up. Oh, no cellular signal, what’s your Wi-Fi password, I can’t connect, hang on… is that a zero or an o?…

TDI/SDI doesn’t use an app and the cards are saved as PDF’s on my phone. SSI uses an app but I have my Mod 2 card saved as an image. The only one that I’m stuck with using an app is PADI but I rarely have to show one of those cards.
