I want some opinions or experiences regarding ACUC certification recognition. I recently completed my ACUC Advanced certification. Some people I talk to tell me that ACUC is not widely recognized. I do travel to Mexico and the Caribbean to dive...will I have problems? I am continuing on with my Rescue certification should I go with PADI for that?? Thanks

Go dive Cuba man, lots of ACUC there. I don't think you will have any problems with your cert anywhere. Their training is very thorough even if the training material is a little dated.
A good instructor is not one who impresses students with the depth of their knowledge;
Rather, they impresses upon students a depth of knowledge.

Its easy to make up a fake C-Card... and even easier to fake a temporary c-card... if you're going to go through the trouble... might as well do an SSI or PADI
From the ACUC website:
“ACUC is a founding member of the Canadian and European RSTC and therefore we recognize and are recognized by, all WRSTC council member's agencies (see www.wrstc.com). ACUC also holds mutual recognition agreements with CMAS for our diver levels. “
Among other things, WRSTC sets minimum standards for most SCUBA courses worldwide. I doubt you would have a problem with your ACUC certs.
