Editorial – November 2024

In November, the dive industry faces challenges due to varied buyer and seller seasons. The peak purchasing times for diving gear depend on local consumer preferences and the broader market seasonality. Equipment suppliers often struggle to meet consumer demands due to misalignment with product availability and trade shows. There is a call for industry stakeholders to collaborate on improving event scheduling, as November is not ideal for trade events due to market demand and holiday preparations. Finding a better timing could enhance both educational events and trade shows, benefiting manufacturers and professionals alike.
