Thanks for an easy question Doc!

From a business point of view the constant challenge is to get word out that diving is fun and to get more people diving more often.

Technology has helped with some of the challenges that used to exist... light-weight dry suits and effective thermal protection, better personal dive computers, energy-efficient lighting systems, better designed regs, manufacturers with better QA methods and so on. I guess technology will continue to improve the sport in that regard.

We're constantly working to improve the diving experience for divers, and in that regard one of the significant hurdles we have to overcome is keeping in touch with divers and encouraging them to tell us what they find a challenge... but of course, that's where Scubaboard helps!
