Promote Asia Cheapest Travel
I recieved the following from one of the diving news groups that I belong to and I certainly believe that if we are going to get out of this economic mess we need to believe that times are going to be good again, and to see where the opertunities are, rather than where the problems are. Your enthusiasim towards scuba diving and adventure travel in Asia will make a difference to people that are still going to need to unwind. Make the decission easy for them by crafting packages that offer great value in Asia Cheap Travel is a great way for people to get a vacation in. If you stress the benefit of the benifit to them talk about how taking time out will refocus and give time for contemplation of new projects and to sit back and let the mind come up with new solutions to old problems for me the silent mediatation of a nice long dive often times rewards me with insights that I don't see when I am in the trees.
Optimism and Enthusiasm Sweeps through the Dive Industry
PADI Survival Training 2009 attendees tune out bad news and tune in to more business.
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – 18 February 2009 – Just days after PADI Americas launched Survival Training 2009: Business of Diving for the 21st Century, PADI Members are taking action -and taking control of their future. Turning their backs on televisions and internet sites spouting negative messages, Survival Training attendees are tuning in to their business with renewed energy, optimism and enthusiasm.
“You know, in today’s climate, you’re beaten down by everything you hear in the news media,” said Kevin Guthrie of Adventure Scuba in Dallas, Texas, USA. “Survival Training was like a breath of fresh air.”
“I was very impressed,” shared Michele Day, owner and operator of Underwater Phantaseas South in Greenwood Village, Colorado, USA. “Everyone is talking negative right now; [Survival Training] was upbeat. It reminded you of why you got into diving to begin with.”
Rod Althaus, owner of New Wave Scuba in Port Clinton, Ohio, USA added, “I’m glad I went. It was well worth the time ... just the kick in the butt I needed to get jump started!”
Taking the message to the streets, “You can’t change the circumstances of the world … but, you CAN change your attitude and response,” PADI Americas executives and regional managers are challenging PADI Members to improve their business results by adopting a positive attitude and perspective about the future. Delivering a message of hope and optimism, along with a back to business basics approach, Survival Training 2009 is already making a difference for many attendees.
“I was really energized when I got back,” Day added. “The following day, I received a phone call from a couple interested in lessons. I must have spent over an hour with them on the phone. We got them into a private [Discover Scuba Diving program] that afternoon … they ended up purchasing two full sets of snorkeling gear and signed up for class, pool and open water dives.”
Bob Hathaway, owner of Odyssey Scuba and Travel in Waynesville, Missouri, USA challenged his staff to be proactive rather than reactive. “When diving comes up in conversation with people, and it always does, don’t just talk about it, hand them the little gold coin [from the PADI Marketing Kit] and invite them to try it. Don’t just wait for people to walk in the store, or see an ad, or hear something on the radio, give them a personal invitation to come into the store. The personal touch goes much farther.”
Patti Stewart, owner and operator of International Scuba in Carrollton, Texas, USA agrees, “As Gordon said, there’s no magic, silver bullet. You have to take what you have and go forward. The seminar gave us ideas on how to tweak things that we already do, as well as new ideas that made us think, hmmm, I wonder if that will work. We’re going to try.”
There’s an old saying in the news business that no news is good news and bad news is great news. At least, that’s how many newscasters look at it, which is why the airwaves and cyber space are cluttered with the news blues. But, PADI Members are finding that good news is infectious and a positive attitude along with some solid business advice is just what they need to reenergize and reinvigorate their businesses.
Are you looking for a breath of fresh air? You can still attend Survival Training 2009 at cities throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. Do your peers recommend it?
“Definitely. Next year, I’m going to make sure my wife and staff attend, too. It does help.”

Cambodia PADI Pro Divers Fourms
Padi Forums coming up still wondering why there isn't one in Cambodia yet, seems that there are enough pro divers there to warrent one ? Maybe next year. The updates at ADEX seem to be the way to go if you are in Cambodia but the problem there is they allways schedule the darn things real close to Songkrand and Khmer New Year which makes finding Asia cheapest travel a real tough road to go doewn as everything is full and the lines are long.
