I expect to see literally millions of divers able to travel within a very few short years." Mr. Neal Watson, President of the dive association added, "The opportunities for growth in the China dive market are endless. It's important to be there early, and it's just a matter of time until they have a vibrant dive travel consumer market."

William Cline, the Bahamas Dive Association dive marketing expert, states "There are about 40,000 divers currently in the China, and most travel is booked via roughly 100 dive clubs now." William continues"... the [Chinese] market is where the US was about 40 years ago; the difference is it will only take a few short years to bridge the gap. China's population has an intense interest in diving, unlike other places in the world. As a result, this fascination will translate into an explosive growth situation in China in the coming years."
