What are Dive Shops?
A dive center is the base location where recreational divers usually learn scuba diving or make guided dive trips to new locations.
Many dive centers operate under the guidelines of ISO 24803, in which case the facilities must meet the ISO minimum standard for a service provider for recreational diving.

Is owning a dive shop profitable?
With average revenues of about R8443.81annually, the local dive shop is either a small or micro business. There’s nothing wrong with that, except it can be challenging at times.
With this level of annual revenues, it is unlikely you can afford a vice-president for each one of these functions.
Is scuba diving a good business?

As active recreational pastimes go, scuba diving is one of the easiest to learn. While you’re gliding around enjoying the underwater sights, you’re engaged in only three basic skills: floating, kicking, and breathing.
How deep can you dive without certification?
18m/60ft
-Javier Cantellops. The short, super long answer is.. as an Open Water certified diver you are qualified to dive “independently” (with a buddy of course), without a certified professional guiding you, to 18m/60ft. This is why we recommend continuing your scuba education and going on more dives.
How long does a scuba tank last?
In the US, the DOT (Department of Transportation) controls scuba cylinders. While wrong, many dive shops agree that a properly cared for the aluminum tank has a service life of about 20 years.
In reality, aluminum tanks by engineering can withstand the stress of 100000 refills or 10000 hydrostatic tests.
