To whom are you planning on showing the card? The only card I ever had
to show was PADI at dive resorts ( they are not impressed by the others)
and my cave card which I made myself for the rangers at Peacock,
someplace I have not been in years.

The fact is that if you can get a GUE card, you probably do not need to
show it to anyone.
