In which the diving business has problems that affect diving from many parties, namely problems from entrepreneurs, problems from the Diving Teaching Institute without standards and not accepted by international. Problems with diving equipment without standard integrity checks. Problems from diving instructors, problems from guides that lack knowledge and understanding of diving well enough. Problems from boats that take divers to dive that lack complete equipment for initial treatment in case of diving accidents, including the problem of boat drivers who do not have a license to drive boats. Lack of knowledge and skills to drive boats and poor anchoring can damage coral reefs and the problem of not having a diver's health check before diving. These problems are the responsibility of diving business investor, which do not have specific law to control them.
