Meadowlands Exposition Center, Secaucus New Jersey, Friday-Sunday, March 23-25, 2018

Hey Gang...we'll be at BTS again in March 2018 so come and join us at the country's LARGEST SCUBA SHOW March 23-25, 2018!!! It's so good it's worth flying in for! And of course if you do you can get FREE ENTRY into the show for 3 hrs of help either at the show or at the SD Booth! We need your help to be at this show as we could not afford to do it without giving volunteer help to the show in exchange for a cheaper rate! So plan to be there and plan to help where you can! 

 

Check out dive gear vendors, travel vendors, local dive shops and of course SINGLEDIVERS.com! The event will have HUNDRED'S OF BOOTHS!!

NOTE: We will also help people find rooms at the show that we can all share the price of. Some members book a room and offer to share and usually SD puts a few rooms on hold as well at the show rate. So let us know if you will want/need a room so we can start planning that as well.

It would be great to see you Susie! Hoping you can make it!

[cat fish]

Hi susiq! We sure hope that you'll find time to get away from Manhattan for at least a wee visit (like Happy Hour, for example!!)   We'll definitely keep you posted on our plans!

I am committing to helping out at the booth on Saturday, March 24th.  I'll just send my non-diving friend browsing on his own for a couple hours.

Thanks for volunteering to help out Sharon, even a few hours helps a lot!

Do you think you and your friend will be able to stay for the Happy Hour after the show Saturday? I have you plus one down as "maybe", just reply here to confirm.

Hi Sharon! Thank YOU so much in advance.  We greatly appreciate your offer of help. Your friend will have no trouble entertaining himself while you are "working." There's lots to see and do at BTS.

 

And I certainly hope you folks stay around for the happy hour. It's always great fun and a good way to decompress after a busy time at show.

 

Stay tuned for more details!

INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

..... Saturday, March 24, 8:30pm

........ Hilton Meadowlands Hotel

 

Hey! Last year a bunch of us went to the Film Fest after the Happy Hour. It was terrific!  Here's a link to the heavy metal folks who will be presenting this year. They also show the work of the winners of the International Imaging Competition. Absolutely great stuff.

 

Think about joining us on Sat night for the Film Fest!

Hey, I've got some extra gigs for us to help out with at BTS... giving a hand at the Ocean Pals booth, and helping with setup for Friday night's Fish 'n Famous party.  Both are great fun! 

 

ChuckE and CherryNYC.... I've PM'd to you about these assignments. You'll help Kamala, and you'll help BTS. Win, Win.    

 

Anybody else available?  Let us know! 

[cat fish]

Our good buddy, Jerry aka Jerrymxz will probably NOT be joining us at BTS this year.... he is scheduled to participate in military training that weekend.

 

Jerrry: first of all we want to say Thank YOU for your service to our great country!       Second, thank you for the ongoing support and hilarity you lend to SD.com!  You have been there for us countless times, and the steady support of a Truly Good Guy means so much. Thank you, Jerry!!

Hi, Ms Atocha Queen, Catfish, Sylvia!

 

Hope all is well. It looks like either Friday or Sunday will work for me this year.... I got some work for Saturday late afternoon that kind puts a stick in my eye right there.  Can you let me know if one of those will work? Looking forward to seeing lots of folks!
