News – Your Certification Card
Congratulations…… you have just completed your Advanced Open Water Course.
So how do you show this to Dive Centres around the world?
Your certification card is proof that you’ve successfully completed your training. This will arrive through the Post system to your home address. Once you have the card you are ready to start diving.
If you’re like most divers, you never miss an opportunity to go scuba diving.
If you loose the card, what can you do?
- Replace the card
- Contact Scuba Cat and ask them to do a Check for you then continue your education and get a new certification as a result!
You may also want to replace your card if:
- You damage it .
- You changed your name. (You’ll need a copy of legal documentation of name change.)
- You are upgrading from any Junior Diver certification.
- You would like to replace your existing card with a new Project AWARE Edition Certification Card.
- You want to collect fun limited edition certification cards!
You can easy replace your card online at .com. It will be with you in about 3 weeks. You can also print a temporary card if you cant wait that long.
It’s a little bit harder to change your name, contact first and let them have an email showing the legal documentation. They will change your name on their system; you can then order the new card online. Sound like too much admin? Again why not take the next course?
The future is coming….
As with everything else this small card is going electronic.
"the future....."
The eCard uses the power of the smartphone (initially available for Apple, and Android smartphones) and will be hosted, managed and displayed using the Application.
The eCard will be proof of certification.
Security of the eCard was one of s primary concerns, so QR coding (a specific, two-dimensional code) is integrated to make authentication straightforward and easy.
The eCard will be available for new certifications and replacement cards starting in fourth quarter 2011.
Divers will have the options of a eCard, plastic certification card or both.
