Is anyone planning to attend the Flordia Dive Show in Palm Beach December 2-4? I guess a better question is has anyone heard about this show?

Here's a link - Florida Dive Show

I'm heading over for the show and thought a group of Florida-based SD Members (maybe others) might want to go to the event together and check it out.

What say you dive enthusiasts? Is this a worthy venture?

Thanks for posting this. I had not heard of it until your post.

Assuming I am well enough to attend (still recovering from my car crash), I would be interested in attending the Tech Conference.

Anyone else?

[WreckWench]

Hey gang...anyone want to hook up in FL to see the show and/or do an SD Happy Hour? We might be able to have SD participate in the show with a booth if we have enough interest.

Who wants to join me??? This should be a great show and wonderful opportunity to visit with our Florida members!

[Capn Jack]

I'm planning to be in Ft Lauderdale 11/29-11/30 - I need an excuse to hang around... interesting.

Yep - will be there. If my shoulder heals enough from surgery 2 weeks ago, might even try a beach dive at Marvel's - Lauderdale-By-The-Sea!

Yep we usually do a local area Happy Hour and even pass out flyers at the event to let others know about it as well! We've gotten some great new members who have discovered us at the regional dive shows.

[PerroneFord]

Anyone insterested in doing a Sat. only carpool from N. FL.? I have an obligation on Sunday at noon, so I have to be back.

Perrone,

If I go, it would be Friday/Sunday...sorry, as I could not only bore you with tales of the days of yore, but poison you with OG music...

While at the Long Beach (CA) SCUBA Show last spring, I spoke with one of the people involved in the show. They expressed interest in showing one of my videos and I gave them a copy. I followed up afterwards with the rep, and received no response. I decided to skip it.
