GENERAL INFORMATION

Late in 2002, the 30-year old Aquaventure Philippines and a 2nd distributor of scuba diving equipment, Whitetip Divers originally established in the 1980s, were combined by purchase to form the the marketing organization Aquaventure Whitetip Dive Supply, which started its commercial operations in early 2003.
