OK. I said "industry marketing arm" etc, not knowing whoever was the group doing that kind of work for them. I still think all of the PADI, etc teaching agencies should either help out DEMA then or join on their own and push the advertising and marketing. If not, they are very short-sighted. They are quickly running out of people that want/need training, as I see it.
Just curious, and not disagreeing but what marketing efforts should the LDS, resorts be doing for the "bigger industry" or should they market their own business?
I disagree with quickly running out, there are more people and a smaller percentage taking training now than even 20 years ago, i see the potential pool growing of people that may want/need scuba training.
Right now we can't even get marine biology students to take up diving in any significant %, and Marine Biology is one of the "in" degrees. (why I have no idea, big student loans and no jobs is not that sexy to me)
