There are few people in the sport diving industry who have Steven M. Barsky's depth of understanding of the industry. Steve has worked in the business since 1968, when he first worked in a dive shop in Los Angeles. His background in the diving industry includes the following:

• Working in sport diving retail stores for 6 years
• Working as a dive guide in the Caribbean and Hawaii
• Working full-time for diving equipment manufacturers for 6 years
• Writing for numerous diving magazines
• Serving as a Board Member of the Scuba Diving Resources Group
• Consulting for numerous manufacturers from AquaLung to Zeagle, since 1989
• Consulting for diving non-profits, like the Divers Alert Network

Steve is known for his realistic analysis of the diving business and will give you the straight facts, without pulling any punches. He also consults through the Gerson Lehrman Group to venture capitalists and other industrialists. If you want an honest appraisal of the market potential for your product, Steve Barsky can deliver the answer.

Steve provides a reality check to all of his clients and does not hesitate to tell it like it is. Sport diving is not the growth industry that it once was back in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s.
