(Dive Travel Business News - October 14, 2011) -- Shawn Exnicious is taking over the helm at dive travel wholesale company Caribbean Dive Tours. The change comes on the heels of the  announcement that Ron Grzelka, President and owner of Caribbean Dive Tours / Worldwide Dive Tours (CDT) will be retiring.

Former dive store owner of Atlanta Scuba & Swim Academny (now Atlanta Scuba and Swim Centers), Grzelka started Caribbean Dive Tours 23 years ago with the concept of providing dive travel services to the dive center that didn’t compete for his dive store customers. CDT continues with that same business model today, working with dive retailers and not competing against them.  Over the years, this U.S. travel wholesaler, tour operator and agency has grown to represent over 200 dive resorts, hotel & dive operations, and liveaboard vessels in the Caribbean and in the South Pacific.

According to Ron Grzelka, Shawn was brought on board because she understands the business model on which Caribbean Dive Tours was founded: “Since the very beginning of CDT the focus has been to establish a partnership with the retailer, and provide them with the tools to better serve their customers. Shawn believes in the CDT principle that the Dive Travel Wholesaler should serve the Dive Retailer as a Wholesaler and not sell directly to the customer of the Dive Retailer’s.” Ron Grzelka said “Shawn has the experience and the relationship in and out of the industry to take CDT to a new level.”

Shawn Exnicious brings to the leadership role over 15 years of experience in the dive travel market working with Aggressor Fleet before joining CDT.Shawn has worked at Caribbean Dive Tours for the past 5 years.

Says Shawn, “I’m looking forward to continuing the business philosophy that CDT was founded on and growing CDT into a world leader in dive travel”. 

Caribbean Dive Tours is a full service ARC certified Travel Wholesaler that offers travel solutions for the professional dive center. Contact Shawn at Caribbean Dive Tours 1-800-786-3483 ext. 23 or Shawn@CDTusa.com.
