Scuba diving monkey business...Jorge - Divemaster/Advertising July 20, 2007 at 13:37:24Re: "Every dive center needs a set of full dive equipment for at least 10 divers and tanks and a compressor and at least a boat." Andre |

It is not necessarily expensive to launch a new dive business because actually dive centers do not necessarily require the equipment you have listed. It really depends on
how developed the local support infrastructure is for dive operators. In well-established dive destinations, most dive center owners subcontract with compressor operators (who also own the tanks) and boat operators (who also own the boats). That leaves you with a start-up cost that includes instructor certification, five or six sets of used scuba diving equipment and a do-it-yourself web site. You be surprised how many big dive operators started with almost nothing. |
