The Association works on business related issues that industry professionals have been asking for, for years. First of all, we are uniting the industry to a common purpose. Those of us, who work in the industry, either full time or part time, want to continue to do what we love to do. Whether it's manufacturing equipment, selling equipment and supplies, teaching classes, conducting tours, dive mastering dives, operating charter boats, or working in the travel and resort business - we all like what we do and want to continue to do so.
Doing what we love to do is one profession. Owning a business, doing what we love to do, is another profession. That's where Dive Industry Association comes in. We're here to help you be more successful in the business of doing what you love to do. Our mission is to provide our members with marketing tools, business education and training, business resources and networking opportunities necessary for building and maintaining a successful business in today's highly competitive marketplace. Some of the services we provide include:
