That is just normal. When I want to dive with people I have not dived with before I just email and advise my cert level, number of dives and a couple of my dive logs like I have posted on SB. That is already enough as it should be. Smiles and being treated well is normal for any business as it is for my guest house customers. Some dive ops are concerned that I want to do 40 plus dives in 12 - 14 days of diving and can I handle that lol.

All your previous certs show on your most recent dive number card? How does a dive operator access this, do they have to go to an SSI website? Maybe you only need Advanced Adventurer (AOW) and nitrox. I find this a bit difficult to believe.

The only card I care to show a new dive shop or boat is my Zombie Apocalypse Diver card.

I think that you did not read one of the previous posts. I mail or send via whatsapp all the information before going to the shop. SSI or not.

Yes but at least most of the diver operations around the world have not. They might be concerned after reading some of Dody's posts.
I rather like reading them though for the adventures he gets up to.

Why should they be concerned? I have only have good to very good encounters and relationship with dive shops people
The SSI cards have a QR code on them that goes to the SSI website, you enter your DOB, and your SSI credentials can be found.

Yeah. That sounds weird. Per SSI, I am a Century Diver. I see that in the app, but I don’t have a physical card for it. My AOW card is a recognition cert, and it lists the 4 specialties I took to qualify, but I don’t see how, or why, a card recognizing 100 dives would have a link to all his certs.
Unless, he means the QR code. Each physical SSI card has a QR code that is linked to the diver. Scanning it will take you to a website where the scanner can verify all SSI certs held by the diver.
