Update on The State of Dive Destinations & Operators

Presented by:  Ken Scarbrough, owner at Ultimate Dive Travel

Ken and UDT have over 25 years experience and are the worlds premier SCUBA dive travel agency.  Bluegrass Dive Club has been fortunate to have benefited from a long partnership with Ken and UDT, during which our club’s members have enjoyed many great travel destinations and some world class diving experiences.

As we pass the one year anniversary of the global pandemic, Ken has an update to share about the state of the dive industry, its destinations, and the people and facilities that make it all possible.  As many of us are chomping at the bit to travel again, this kind of update is needed.

Plan to join the presentation and Q&A during our meeting Tuesday evening, 3/23/2021.  The event details and Zoom link can be found here:
