Dive Industry Association, Inc.

Dive Industry Association, is a member-centric Marketing & Trade Association dedicated to “Building a Better Industry, One Member at a Time.”  We are constantly improving our blogs, press releases, newsletters, directories and web sites to promote your business and keep you current with the state of the industry.  We’ve invested heavily in new technology tools and programs that improve our marketing reach and frequency.

There is no question that the diving industry is fragmented.  Different stakeholder groups have different agendas and different customer bases.  It’s not a problem indigenous to the diving community.  All markets have this trait in common.  We need to work together, regardless of our differences in order to make this industry better.
