June 22, 2021
Dick Long, the founder of Diving Unlimited International (DUI), has announced that DUI is moving forward in its mission to create innovative products for safe and comfortable diving under new leadership.
Dan Drake has stepped up to be the new CEO of the 55-year-old San Diego company; he has served in most sectors of the company since he joined it 17 years ago. “Dan’s passion for the ocean, diving, and DUI is as strong as mine,” Long said. “I can’t wait to see him bring DUI to new heights.”
DUI is famed in the diving community for creating new drysuit technology, enabling divers to be safe in cold water. DUI created dozens of patented products used by military, commercial, and recreational divers. They keep oil workers safe in frigid Arctic waters, give Navy divers more time underwater to complete their missions, and has made it more comfortable for recreational divers to explore marine life wonders. The company continues to develop new and more advanced products, shipping them worldwide while keeping its loyal employee base local in San Diego. With Dan Drake’s leadership, we look forward to seeing where DUI will be in the near future.
