Matt,
I'm looking for a Z-Tech suit and I recently saw your post. Do you still have these suits available? PLease let me know.
Thanks!
Michal Z.
When I heard the opening chords were NOFX, I knew I was onto something special. :-)
Awesome guys!
Hi Kevrumbo,
Thanks for sharing and your info. Yes, I know Grah is the guy teaching GUE and also selling Halcyon & DUI in Hong Kong / Asia Pac.
Thanks indeed and let me do some comparison.
Yet, it seems I will go for Whites Fusion very likely....…
Everyone, may I know if there is any comments of the Pinnacle Evo 2? thanks.
Hi Yazid,
Thanks indeed for your invaluable input and share.
I check Santi's web and seems only avaialable in Singapore, Japan and Korea for Asian region. Mind to share with me how much approx you get it from Singapore?
Yes, you are correct, the…
Hey Caron,
I'm also planning to get my own drysuit. The Norteck Discovery drysuit looks almost identical to Santi Espace. We have an Asian dealer for Santi drysuit in Singapore. Actually, the Asia dealers for DUI, Diving Concepts & Whites Diving ar…
Hi Jim,
By the way, finally which dry suit you've selected?
Cheers,
Caron
Hi Matthew,
Similar to Jim, I am also looking for Dry Suit here in Hong Kong. Do you have any contact of Norteck in Asia here?
By the way, can someone pls comment Pinnacle's Evo 2? I think it is also using the cordura material and looks ok. I am n…
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 here though...…
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. : )

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.

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…
Jim, my sister, all in Seattle, looked into this as well (as did I for my wife here in LA). As Maciek said, the UTD instructors I talked to were both well aware of the concern, and said they'd be happy to also issue a more well recognized card if th…
