A Growing Market Ready for Disruption
The global scuba diving industry is valued at approximately $9-10 billion annually and continues to expand, driven by rising interest in adventure tourism, experiential travel, and marine conservation. With millions of certified divers worldwide and thousands of dive centers operating in key destinations like the Maldives, Thailand, Greece, Australia, and the Red Sea, the market remains highly fragmented and underserved by modern technology.
Most dive centers still rely on paper-based processes, Excel spreadsheets, and manual scheduling—creating inefficiencies in certification issuance, equipment tracking, insurance verification, and customer management. Instructors, meanwhile, face geographic limitations, bureaucratic delays, and income caps tied to single-club employment.
