The U.S. diving industry supports thousands of jobs—from instructors and divemasters to store employees, boat crews, and travel professionals.

Skyrocketing insurance costs threaten the dive workforce, forcing many operators to make tough decisions. The DIVE BOAT Act provides relief—but only if Congress acts.

Your voice matters. Protect the community, workers, and operators you love. Help us all and contact your legislators today. 👉 https://bit.ly/TheDiveBoatAct

🤿 Divers! Have you noticed increases in dive trip prices or dive operators closing? Here's why and what you can do about it. 👇

In 2022, Congress unintentionally broke the insurance market for small dive, snorkel, and tour boat operators. Sport fishing and large cruise operators were exempted! As a direct result, dive centers, day-boat operators, dive training organizations, and dive travel providers are paying dramatically higher fees. Many operators have tried to absorb the costs, but several have had to lay off employees, limit boat trips, or sell their business.

❗❗ If you care about helping the American dive community – we need your help contacting Congress!

The DIVE BOAT Act would fix the mistake the prior Congress made. Even if you've helped before, we have a NEW Congress and must bring this critical issue to lawmakers' attention! Click the link below to support the U.S. dive community and encourage your Members of Congress to do the same. Help us keep dive trips safe & affordable in the U.S.!
