With the announcement that NASA has found water in the form of ice on the Moon, I am patiently awaiting someone to write the first Moon Diver Distinctive Specialty Course. There are enough random specialty courses out there, why couldn’t a course that combines Dry Suit (to simulate a space suit), Night (even though I…
For those of you who were fortunate enough to attend the 2009 DEMA Expo in Orlando, I hope you can agree to some degree that it was simply amazing. From the weather to the seminars and conversations, if you didn’t learn somethingyou were sleep walking. DEMA Expo 2009 Continuing Coverage I started writing my comprehensive coverage…
The title pretty much says it. I’m a PADI Master Instructor and want knowledgeable instructors from other agencies who would be interested in sharing their online marketing ideas. I don’t want this site to be a PADI-only site, but I know their programs very well and would like to discuss specific ideas on how to…

People with press badges could potentially generate a much greater reach for your marketing efforts…
I will be arriving in Orlando, Florida later today and attending the 2009 DEMA Expo through Saturday. I will be attending several of the marketing seminars to see where others in the SCUBA diving industry think we need to go and how to get there. I will be interviewing everyone I can, trying to share…

Twitter just launched their new lists feature, so I went ahead and created a list of SCUBA professionals (DM’s, Instructors, Dive Centers, Resorts, Boats, Videographers, etc) who are on Twitter. If you’re not on the list, hit me up and let me know. If you see someone on the list that is a bot or…
