- What exactly is a dive agency…
Dive agencies do not provide diver training; that is the job of dive instructors who work for local dive shops or resorts. Agencies primarily sell books, mostly in eBook form, which contain diving-related information written by experts. They charge fees for access to these materials for professionals who teach diving. Agencies also ensure safety standards in diver training and charge instructors and dive centers to be part of their network for marketing and protection purposes.
