We recently discussed the multiple challenges we face when trying to measure the size of the scuba diving industry market.

For instance, we presented the reality that surveying dive gear manufacturers and dive training agencies could never give us a complete picture of the market, even if they all shared data with a third party tasked with delivering market reports. And only a handful of them do it in a handful of markets, anyway. We reviewed why such a set of numbers would come with gigantic holes and issues.

For many other reasons, surveying dive retailers also provides an incomplete picture of the scuba diving industry.
