Exciting things are happening at DPG. We have been brewing ideas in our innovation lab and will be rolling out new features fairly regularly. Our goal is to provide the best resources we can for the community. We have been developing a one-of-a-kind dive directory catered to the needs of the underwater photographer and videographer, and will finally unveil this uniquely comprehensive directory in 2008. The DPG Dive Operator Directory will provide underwater photographers with the first and only comprehensive database and search engine that can be used to find dive operators based on a combination of very specific criteria. Each dive operator profile contains vital details to help you select the appropriate dive operator.
