We were diving in Malaysia recently and had no problem with UTD card. Though DM was curious about UTD but we were allowed to dive. UTD standards and community are available on the website if they have questions or want to find out more.

That's exactly right! I'm sure there's a great crew in Sea-town. I wish I still lived there but am stuck in Hong Kong for the moment... though not exactly a bad local to access SE Asia. Still trying to find DIR style dive buddies out…

Yes, the wonderful thing about our community in Seattle is that you graduate right into a great group of dive buddies. No wondering about how you're going to find someone to dive with, or what they'll be like if you do!

Jim, in addition to having UTD instructors in Seattle we also have a very strong UTD community support base. There's nothing lonely about being UTD in the Puget Sound area. He'll find UTD friends and mentors in good supply. : ) -Ben

Hi Andrew, Maciek, Thank you for your prompt responses and clarification. I'll definitely encourage my friend to go the UTD/DIR route and hope he goes ahead with it. I see there's a few Seattle instructors as well, happy days.

JIm We really do appreciate your question and concern. Back in the day before internet most dive shops, had only heard of PADI and NAUI because the were working in isolation and knew of PADI or NAUI just because fo the sheer numbers of instructors…
