Hi all,

I just pulled into the house in North Carolina after a whorl wind trip back to Pennsylvania and the Beneath the Sea Show. It was great to see some old friends and meet some new ones as well. My brother and I had a great time at the Happy Hour on Saturday night and then while working the show on Sunday. I wanted to get this thread started so any of the people we talked to and introduced to SingleDivers could introduce themselves and say hi.

I saw a lot of very cool toys but I was able to behave myself this year and not go overboard. But I have to say I really like the rEvo rebreather .....someday

What did you see that tickled your fancy?

And thanks to all the people who stopped at the booth and said hi.

Thank you Jerry for the great thread...

I will leak a few cool things out that we got into place thanks to the MASSIVE EFFORTS BY CAT FISH AND SASSI and all our volunteers to allow me a few minutes to go and work out some great deals!

So here are a few sneak peaks....

1. A multi-year contract with Divi Bonaire for our annual Single's week in March to include discounts for repeat bookings as well as early bookings! And we'll even have some nice recognition awards for those who have joined us 3 years, 5 years, 7 years and 10 years!

2. Also part of the Divi discussions we've been invited to join the resort for New Year's Eve 2011/2012!! So start marking your calendars...it will be New Year's in Bonaire not this year...but next!

3. We have picked up our very first line of exclusive JEWELRY for our members and will offer some introductory discounts after we get everything in place. They will also be making a special whaleshark peice for our June Holbox trip...HOW

4. We will be offering a really cool way for members to frame their pictures they take on our trips and some great introductory pricing when we make the official announcement!

5. We are now looking at several new corporate partnerships with suppliers to offer our members even better travel deals both as groups and as individuals.

6. And we will be doing more exotics in the next couple of years....so stay tuned...it just keeps getting better!!!!

Sounds like you were busy. Great job. Ed

Well it was great to see everyone and to meet a few new faces. Though I need a new reg, I resisted and will wait to buy though will most likely have a new one before the end of the year.

I didn't resist the jewelry so much...ah well, at least I was able to get a birthday present in the mix too!

Until next year.

Had a great time. Love doing the show. I got to see a lot of great stuff and meet some movers and shakers in the business, my hat is off to our own special mover and shaker, Kamala. It wouldn't have happened without you. Catfish and Sassi sure know how to run a great show. I was a good boy this year, hit the dvd's and books but no big spending. Lots of ooogaling over a bunch of stuff.

Thank you Dave...in the early days I organized the show and our booth and of course everything else. Its just too big to do it all anymore and Sylvia and Carol and now Dave have become the 3 muskateers who SAVE THE SHOW every year!

I still run the smaller shows but this one is too big to do it by myself anymore.

I hope everyone had a great time there! kamala

p.s. can't wait to start working on all our new contracts!
