Happy 2012 from all of us at UDC!

So friends, how many of you have still been writing 2011 every time you need to write the date!! (Perhaps that is just me….?!)

New Year is always a time to look back on the last year and to look forward to the new one. So first of all, we wanted to say thanks to all our customers in 2011. You were awesome and we loved being part of your diving adventures. If you were here to take your first breaths underwater…thank you for letting us share that with you. We will never get tired of the look of wonder on peoples´ faces as they see the underwater world we love. If you were here for Advanced classes or Specialties, then hopefully we have expanded your talents and skills. If you were here for Rescue…thank you for saving us! For those who did Tech, somehow one tank will never be enough again, will it? And for all our GoPros thank you for all your hard work, the fun we had and please keep in touch and tell us as you spread the UDC professionalism worldwide.

Highlights of the year…well almost too many to mention. Here are a few:

• Winning the Instructor Development Centre of the year from PADI for the 2nd year running
• Being awarded the Green Star in recognition of the environmental awareness we have and the work we do every day to promote that
• All the fun we have had here, both diving and also the “surface intervals” outside of diving
• Spectacular sunsets at the UDC dock with an ice cold beer
• Clive building a hand glider that was SUPPOSED to fly off the dock
• Setting up the new PADI Closed Circuit Rebreather program at UDC and with 3 Poseidon MKVI rebreathers!

Looking forward to 2012…what do we hope for. Well more of the same please! To every one of you that have visited previously, please hurry back to see us. To everyone who has not yet made it to Utila ….well what´s keeping you?

Here´s wishing you everything that you dream of for 2012 and hoping this is the best year EVER. Remember, it is up to you to grab the opportunities that come your way. Just think of the quote “because my worst nightmare is to wake up one day, old and grey, thinking about all the things I didn’t do…” Make this the year you DO!!!
