2023: BTS aka Beneath The Sea Consumer Dive Show NY/NJ Mar 25-26, 2023 (set up Mar 24)

BTS IS A GO FOR 2023!!!

It will be a brand new show for many reasons... sadly the founding principal of the show passed and shortly thereafter his lovely bride joined him.

We have helped this show for many many years and have been instrumental in its ability to continue the legacy started by its founder and those faithful trustees, board members, volunteers and friends!

We are super excited to return to the show but also to the home of MANY MANY SingleDivers.com members! YAY!!!

Its been too long since we've seen each other! So SAVE THE DATES...we are returning home to our BTS Family and Ocean loving friends! 

Meadowlands Exposition Center, Secaucus New Jersey, Friday-Sunday, March 24-26, 2023

Hey Gang...we'll be at BTS in March 2023 so come and join us at the country's LARGEST SCUBA SHOW March 25-26, 2023!!! 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 HUNDREDS 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.

Hi, Kamala!

Hope you are well.  I live about an hour from the Meadowlands and would love to help out at the show.  I can help set up and man the booth any of the days.

Hi Joyce and thanks or volunteering!!  Based on what you posted I listed you as available all three days, on second thought please confirm if this is what you meant or if you are available any of the three days but not al three (we know that can be quite rather a grind). Again THANK YOU for your offer and for the chance to meet and greet other club members yet to sign up in person!

Hey gang... Sylvia aka catfish is going to be able to help us get the show organized since we not only man our booth telling people about SingleDivers.com but we also help the organization that runs the event as well! Its a win win!  We are super excited to have Sylvia back to help with the critical 'getting started and getting organized' parts and of course to SEE EVERYONE IN THE AREA! Its been too long! Kamala

Hey Kamala!  I don't live too far from the Meadowlands and would be willing to come up and help Saturday if you still need volunteers. Also, where is the photo dump site for the trips?  I have finally edited mine from Egypt LoL.
