James Carbary of Sweetfish Media interviews Kenny Dyal on dive training, dive business, why he loves it, and what happens next in the world of scuba. They also dive into what it takes to open a scuba diving store from scratch, how to form a team, build a brand, and more importantly, a following.
Kenny started a dive shop from scratch, built it to success, and sold it less than 5 years later before turning 35. He now hosts The Scuba Diving Podcast and Channel interview shows, & produces Down to 60 video series through the creation of Sweetwater Scuba, a dive media company. He is also the author of the kids books "How to Become a Scuba Diver" recently released (after this interview took place). It's available in select bookstores, dive shops, and Amazon.
Kenny is an active NAUI Course Director, and still dives on the Disney World Dive Team part-time, for fun.
Kenny believes the industry could easily be MUCH larger (as in crazy huge!), if only the public had better access to simplified information. The goal with Sweetwater is to continuously develop a series of tools to make it easier for the public and professionals to enter and share this world.
"Let's show the rest of the world the rest of the world."
