Certification Census Data for Q1 & Q2 Now Available

The latest DEMA Certification Census data is now available for the first and second Quarter of 2018. This data includes actual counts from NAUI, PADI and SDI plus an averaged estimate of U.S. open water certifications at non-reporting diver training agencies.

Participating agencies report their data to a third party administrator with DEMA receiving the total counts; DEMA does not see numbers from any one agency.


Complimentary Diver Demographic Infographics Now Available


In April, DEMA released detailed demographic and life stage analyses divided into four separate reports based on different diving consumer activities: Open Water Divers, Continuing Education Divers, Equipment Buyers, and Dive Travelers.
 
To accompany these detailed reports, DEMA has designed and released FREE infographics summarizing key findings of the research. 

Click the link below to access the free infographics. The individual research reports are free to all DEMA Members and can be purchased by non-members for $249.00 each. Members obtain their free report by logging into their account on DEMA.org and downloading the report found under the "Research & Educational Guides" section of their DEMA Member Dashboard.  Non-members can purchase their report here.
