目的:本研究旨在探討臺灣潛水產業之發展研究,了解臺灣潛水產業之發展現況。方法:本研究採用質性研究深度訪談法分析下列問題:臺灣潛水產業發展歷程、阻礙因素、產業現況與未來發展。受訪者為四位長期從事潛水產業之從業人員,皆具有豐富的休閒潛水相關知識。結果:台灣潛水活動起源於軍事、打撈用途,隨著解嚴後,相關法律持續鬆綁,潛水人口持續增加。但潛水產業雖具備相對應的人員和產品,但潛水產業極容易受到環境影響。潛水產業相關法規並沒有改善完全,成為阻礙潛水產業發展的因素之一。潛水產業若要永續發展須改善法規與增加民眾對於海洋環境維護相關知識,增加媒體宣傳曝光率及透過教育機構的指導,讓更多人了解海洋環境的重要性。潛水產業不僅需要業者自行提升水準,教育機構需對客戶進行海洋的知識,並且也需要政府政策上的支援,規範潛水運動觀光業同時提高有力的環境保障,未來讓產業能夠蓬勃發展永續經營下去。結論:臺灣是潛水產業從軍事開放到民間,經歷不同的時代,演變至今成為重要的水域活動之一,但由於潛水是極容易受到環境影響的產業,希望未來環境保育相關法律能更周全與民間教育機構共同努力推廣海洋知識,臺灣的潛水產業才能永續經營。
Purpose: the purpose of this study was to investigate the development of Taiwanese scuba diving industry, knowing the condition of scuba diving in Taiwan. Method: the research used literature review and depth interview with four industry staff, whitch has amount of diving knowledge, to analaysis four topic as below, the development of process, of scuba diving, . Result: the origin of diving activities in Taiwan can be traced back to military and salvage purposes. With the lifting of martial law, related laws and regulations have been relaxed, leading to a continuous increase in the number of divers. However, the diving industry is highly susceptible to environmental impacts despite having the necessary personnel and products. The existing regulations related to diving have not been fully improved, becoming one of the obstacles to the industrys development. To achieve sustainable development in the diving industry, regulations must be improved, and public knowledge of marine environmental protection must be increased through increased media exposure and guidance from educational institutions. the industry not only needs to improve its own standards, but educational organization also need to provide customers with knowledge of the ocean environment. Furthermore, government policies need to support the diving tourism industry by regulating it and increasing effective environmental protection to enable the industry to flourish and achieve sustainable management. Conclusion: Taiwans diving industry has undergone different eras from military openness to civilian use and has now become an important water activity. However, diving is an industry that is highly susceptible to environmental impacts, so it is hoped that future environmental conservation laws will be more comprehensive and that civil education institutions will work together to promote ocean knowledge. Only then can Taiwans diving industry be operated sustainably.
