Be A Diver

Coming soon to a TV near you! The Dive Equipment Marketing Association organization will be launching a national ad campaign in 2008 aimed at getting new divers. This is the 30 second TV ad that will be shown across the nation. There are also going to be newspaper, radio, and magazine ads. The website featured in the ad "beadiver.com" isn't up yet, but will feature a "find your local dive shop" zip code search function.



Are you ready to be a diver?

We're BACK!!

Well, we are back from DEMA and we still have all our fingers and toes! We had a great time and learned ALOT!


Joe and Tom got certified to service and repair TUSA regulators and SpareAIR. Joe is now officially able to service OceanReef full face masks. Joe and I are now Mares Master Lab certified, and all of us are PSI/PCI Visual Tank Inspectors. We also learned about MANY new products and collected some t-shirts, pens, and keychains along the way.

As you can see from our shirts we all like to have fun. The shirts were a hit and everyone knew we were together!
We will be getting in some new products soon that we checked out and ordered while we were there. Check back or stop in to see the new stuff!
Oh and just to add to it, while Joe and I were trapped in class from 8am-7pm Tom went to a seminar at the last minute and entered a drawing. Little did he know that he'd win the grand prize... 7 nights, all dives, breakfast and dinner in St. Lucia at Anse Chastenet Resort! Congrats to Tom!!

Headed South

Joe and I will fly to Orlando, FL tomorrow afternoon for the only international trade only event for the scuba diving, water sports, and adventure travel industries, the DEMA Show. DEMA is run by the DEMA organization(Diving Equipment & Marketing Association). With predictions of 11,000+ industry professionals meeting this year it's sure to be a good time. Joe and I will be joined by Tom later in the week to take several classes on gear repair and servicing, tank inspections, seminars on new and upcoming products offered by manufacturers from around the world. We hope to learn alot, meet some great people, and bring back some exciting information and maybe products! See you when we get back!
