i called PADI a few months ago and they couldn't find me in the system, I wonder if getting my cert. in the Philippines in '83 might be a problem. I'll most likely call them again and see if they'll let me scan my cards, email the scans to them to enter them in the system.
I'm getting Enriched Air Cert. This week, will that get me a new cert. in the system?
I have gone diving several times when only showing my Nitrox card, so that's not a bad idea. Having the Nitrox card implies that you also have OW. I think on the last dive the lady behind the counter would have preferred to see my AOW or Rescue card, because the trip required AOW, but she just hesitated a little and decided the Nitrox card was enough.
Personally, I wouldn't rely entirely on the electronic card. My phone battery always dies at the worst times. If you get the plastic card and show that most of the time, AND take a photo of both sides of each card on your phone, AND the dive shop can look it up online, you have all of your bases covered.
