other benefits• Adapt to new media and use social media• Make dive travel easier• Put the “edge” back in diving — make it more exciting• Promote to a younger audience• Create a positive first experience for divers• Provide a local purpose to dive after certification (promote and

use “local diving”)All professional members of the diving industry are welcome and should come prepared to brainstorm, prioritize their ideas and help provide a new direction for the industry.
