These NTG offers are provided through a strategic third-party partnership dedicated to supporting NAUI affiliates and businesses in building successful dive travel programs.

Our main focus is to bring these services to divers through their local NAUI store, and the DEMA Show provides the best opportunity for affiliates to access exclusive deals to pass along to their customers and at the same time make the most profit for their business.”
