Too all of you in the California area, my apologies for missing on this event!. My plans were to travel to Long Beach for the show and then conduct my business leading up to the Memorial Day weekend-family matters precluded this. I will plan on this event next year!!

Hope it was a great event!!!!

Did anyone make it to this show? I thought it was great that they moved the continuous Underwater FilmFestival onto the show floor!

Saw some great stuff and it's always good to catch up with friends. What did anyone else think of the show?

;) I was there yesterday morning. It was packed. Great show wasn't it?

I think the Marshall Islands is on my list somewhere in between September and October 2006.
You must endeavor to pursue!

I was at the show both days, but only in the late afternoon due to conflicts that prevented my dive buddy Andrea and friend Tim from going early. Would have preferred one full day to two "half" days (less expensive too).

Didn't see a soul from SD there and very few from SB. That was disappointing.

The show continues to focus largely on dive travel. This is OK since I'm interested in the travel options and specials. I went largely to network and promote my DVD's. Had some very good encounters in that respect. Do wish there were more dive shops with booths there.

Sorry I missed you, Dr. B. We were there all day on Saturday and then were at Casino Point on Sunday. I thought the show was great but it seemed like there were fewer equipment manufacturers there than in the past. Did find a few places to add to the "destinations" list though.
