Finally! A report on the scuba diving industry size.
Scuba diving equipment, scuba certifications, and dive travel.
USA, Europe, and worldwide.
Dive industry market data is hard to find. Some scuba statistics are publicly available, but most financial and market information is hidden. We did an extensive search to identify available and reliable market and economic data sources on the scuba diving industry. We summarized it for you, and we analyzed it to determine the size of the scuba diving industry.
On top of our own Business of Diving Institute surveys, we reviewed data from numerous sources, including OIA, BEA, DEMA, SFIA, U.S. Census Bureau, TIV Germany, RSTC Europe, Scubapro, Mares, SSI, Beuchat, Aqua Lung, BWMG, Shearwater, and PADI.
These are the most official unofficial numbers for the scuba diving industry!
The Business of Diving Institute and Darcy Kieran extend a warm thank you to the following three organizations for supporting our dive industry research efforts: Divers Alert Network (DAN) Europe, Global Underwater Explorers (GUE), and Halcyon Dive Systems. They are great dive business buddies!
