In this episode of The Dive Locker Podcast we discuss first quarter 2021 diving industry survey results with William Cline.
Welcome To The Show!
Welcome to The Dive Locker Podcast, the podcast for dive professionals where we bring you the latest in diving industry resources that make you excellent at teaching techniques, risk management and dive business.
Last week the latest results of the Cline’s Diving Industry 1st Quarter of 2021 were released. Although the numbers are significantly down from this same time last year, we saw some things that were encouraging. Such as an increase from Q4 and a good amount of retailer confidence is also coming back.
Because of this I wanted to have my friend and industry colleague Willie Cline back on the show for him to discuss these results. We get into that plus a chat about the upcoming DEMA Show in November.
A little bit about Willie. Willie founded the Cline Group in 1990 as an international marketing consultancy, with many areas of expertise. The Cline Group is unique – no other company in the world specializes in marketing diving products and services. The company has been fortunate to represent in various projects, some of the world’s leading diving companies, governments and destinations. Willie saw a need for an industry survey, and since dive training agency would not share their numbers, he created his free industry survey that has been going on for __ years.
