I agree. I ALWAYS take a dive guide in unfamilair waters. This macho nonsense that AOW divers etc. "should be able to take care of themselves" is not the issue. Too many things to go wrong in foreign waters. I have hundreds of dives but still defer to 'local knowledge' e.g. local dive masters when I go abroad.
There are specailty trained working dogs for Deaf & Blind People and now taking that concept into the realm of ridiculous are the newly DM Certified Dive Dogs.
They can be rented at most of the better dive shops and if they dont have one. Just call KayNine@wetdog.com she will send you to a certified dealer with real factory certified K9 Lab technicians.
