About us

What is the DCA?

The Diving Centre Alliance (DCA) was formed to create an alliance between reputable global dive centres in order to encourage people into the sport of scuba diving by dispelling the associated myths from within it.

The DCA forms a Trade Association providing support and marketing opportunities to dive centres throughout the world to raise awareness of them, their services and levels of service. Visitors to the DCA website can provide reviews and recommendations on specified diving instructors and centres.

Our mission

Our mission is to have the DCA recognised as a globally impartial trade association to recreate the Dive Community that once existed and is still very much in the hearts of those associated with the sport, breaking down barriers within the industry.

What do we provide?

We provide recommendations on dive sites and advice on where and when to dive them. We also give advice on how to look the oceans and respect them for future generations to enjoy them too.

We offer industry best practice from qualified diving professionals and provide research papers and projects for people to read and follow.

  • “The Diving Centre Alliance is a phenomenal idea and will become a fantastic asset to the global diving community, bringing centres and divers from around the world together in one place. The DCA will make a big difference to the quality of service delivered by ensuring people can access the information and resources they need to enjoy their diving experiences.” - A. Member
