Hey @Corleone if you need any info on the UTD courses I may be able to help. FYI Im one of the very newest UTD instructors and my number is 170 so not a lot of us around. When I started with UTD, I was already a 10-year NAUI instructor and a RAID OC Instructor and rebreather diver. I really thought I knew how to dive, I had read all the DIR stuff, had my trim sorted and my frogkick was a thing of beauty.
Then i did the UTD Essentials of Rec (similar to GUE-F) as a prep for my IDC and holy cow I realised fast how good I wasn't! The UTD courses are generally around 250 USD a day and that includes the gas fills etc etc. Most of the dives are done as shore dives in shallow water as that really tests your buoyancy control.
The Extreme Scuba Makeover is a one-day course that will change your diving in a way that will blow your mind.
Give me a shout on +971501091567 if you want to chat.
@Roman K was that the trip I met you on?

Yea right, two years ago I dived off the Sheraton beach and was so happy to be back in Jeddah, it just does not compare with what we have to dive in over here in the UAE. Having lived in Jeddah for 7 years and dived up and down the whole Saudi coastline, it's miles better than what the UAE has to offer.
