About KADO
The
Keys Association of Dive Operators (KADO) is an organization
of dive professionals located throughout the Florida Keys who
share a common mission of providing safe, courteous service
to their dive clientele. An additional, but no less important
goal, is to protect the marine environment with safe boating
and mooring practices and purposeful, ecologically sound dive
and snorkel protocols practiced by both staff and customers.
KADO has been instrumental in sinking a number
of shipwrecks throughout the Florida Keys to serve as artificial
reefs and will continue to do whatever is possible to enhance the
underwater attractions of the Florida Keys for locals and visitors
alike.
KADO
has the additional mission to provide for the economic well being
of its members. In the past, KADO has been a strong voice
unifying local dive interests against potential problems with
national certifying agencies, has worked assiduously with FADO
(Florida Association of Dive Operators) and other organizations
on insurance initiatives, and has worked in close council on
advertising projects to promote the Florida Keys. KADO
has been a major force in the shipwreck programs throughout the
Florida Keys, and now that the Internet has become such an important
promotional vehicle for all businesses, KADO is formulating Web
cooperative ventures to assure KADO members get maximum promotional
benefits for the best possible price.
KADO
is there for its members in terms of business practices, professionalism,
and promotion. Please be there for KADO. Join today
