Do Advanced Cards list courses on the back? Wondering if some boat Captains want to see proof of courses taken on the card itself.

Padi does not. My experiences have been than some Ops want proof of Aow card only - probably for liability concerns as much as anything. Mostly they hope that we're good enough for the dive.
 
I know SDI just say's Advanced. So I take it that for Deep and Wreck dives, the Charter will have to take my word for it then.
 
SSI's card list you AOW course's on the back.
 
Yes, but SSI is the only agency where there are multiple courses to list.
 
NAUI just issues individual cards for each certification. It would be nice to have it all listed on one master card.

He likely means "specialties."

I know, but SSI is the only Advanced card you get for completing full specialties. The AOW cards where you make one dive of 5 different types are not close to full specialties and certainly not worth listing on the card.
 
Would a Capt or someone look at my card and say that because my specialties are not listed, I can't do the Deep or Wreck Dives?
