Hello
I've been around the diving industry in Ontario for almost 27 years now and in the last few have seen quite a number of dive shop businesses who have been around for many years shut down. I have to ask, do you think the diving industry in Ontario has become so bad that there's no money to be made on equipment sales? has the developemnt of on line sales hurt the mom and pop dive shop business and have the events of the last two years caused divers and potentially new diver candidates to stop spending, traveling and furthering ther diving education?. I also wonder about the certifying agencies, have there rates been raised to high that its turning diver and instructor candidates away, after all doesn't one feeds on the other. When I talk to peaple about diving one or two of these topics always flames up.
