On April 15, DEMA joined with leading scuba training organizations NAUI, PADI, SDI, and SEI, and sent a letter urging Congress to support the DIVE BOAT Act.
The letter urgently appeals to congressional leaders to address the adverse impacts of the Small Passenger Vessel Act (SPVA) on the U.S. dive industry, which has led to significant and unjustified insurance cost increases for dive businesses. It requests support for modifying Section 11503 of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act with proposed changes outlined in the DIVE BOAT Act. Those proposed changes aim to ensure fair liability standards and prevent the unfair punishment of an entire industry and its consumers.
DEMA offered all current DEMA member training organizations the opportunity to cosign the letter and wishes to thank NAUI, PADI, SDI, and SEI, for cosigning and supporting this effort.
