I'm a certified Divemaster and have some dive travel experience to Hawaii, Cozumel, and a few other nice destinations. I'm very interested in leading dive trips and I'd like some advice on how to get started.
I'm a member of my local dive club and have a good following on social media so I have some ways to promote trips. My questions are:
1. How do I work with a resort and airline to get a package deal I can pass on to trip participants?
2. How many divers do I need to sign up so that I can go free or at a discounted rate?
3. How far in advance should I announce a trip to make sure I can fill it up?
My local dive shop leads trips to more exotic destinations (like Palau, the Philippines, etc.) and I'm thinking about closer locations like Hawaii and Mexico. I'm definitely not in any kind of competition with them or anyone else; I'd just like to start with some trips that I think I can fill up and manage easily.
Any ideas, advice, and other thoughts are welcomed.
Thanks.
