Introducing: Chris's Chats on TikTok

Last week, Chris Foisey, a diving instructor at Dan’s Dive Shop in St Catherines, Ontario, reached a significant milestone. With the pandemic and the resulting downturn in diving and activities last year, Chris decided to make some TikTok videos to promote the dive industry and answer questions about various dive topics presented to him. Chris named his adventure “Modern Diver” and his videos are available on YouTube, Tiktok, and Instagram. Chris is extremely pleased with his supporters and reactions to his project 12 months later, with 850 shares, 22.9 million views, 2.9 million likes, and 145 thousand followers.

We’ll be showcasing Chris’s videos in collaboration with The Scuba News Canada. These are educational and informative, and Chris admits that he hopes to inspire people to try scuba diving. On Tiktok, he has over 145,000 followers from all over the world. He makes regular scuba diving adventure and instructional videos, as well as answering viewer questions in his videos about anything scuba or water-related. He feels seasoned divers can stay current with the new dive industry and training philosophies, so his channel has something for the novice to experienced divers.
