Lots of places require various permits to operate any type of mobile business. The beaches near me, for example, require one. Even if you're a guy on the corner in a clown suit or a guitar player taking tips. Make sure you research that to avoid getting screwed. Roach coaches require different permits. Some from the state, some to operate in a specific location.Most of the diving consists of shore diving in my area. With everything going on in the world, it seems more difficult to get the time or equipment needed for a safe weekend of diving.
I want to offer a dive shop on wheels. We would deliver air fills, equipment and rentals to your home, work or dive site. I also would want to partner with local dive shops so they can advertise classes. In the future, I would want to organize underwater clean ups to clean various marinas around the area.
I am conducting a survey to research the feasibility of the idea. If you want to share your diving habits with me, I would greatly appreciate it.

it was tried there (Ontario) and it made one person a very wealthy person in the 80's. He had a 18 wheeler class/shop/dive locker travelling Ontario in the summer offering dive lessons and an advance party as well.i agree with sam, it has been tried here to , didnt work.......as for dive shops giving you leads and courses , that WILL NEVER HAPPEN the only way it could work is advertise the hell out of it....thenit might work after a couple years , if you travel for a couple of fills thats a big loser, lds's sell air because they have to now you have to calculate vehicle repair /gas /insurance ......
Well, the good thing is that you can live in the vehicle under a Interstate overpass.
nopeif you mean jim at THE DIVE SHOP it wasn't a great success but he told everyone it was...i rember another guy advertising but i dont remember who it was
