Can Items be sold at the Expo this year? Or is this just stuff you are going to tease us with?

Someone in expo planning needs to schedule the Expo for crappy tide weekends (like last weekend) not great tide weekends like the one coming up. I bet there's some fancy phase of the moon thingies that can help http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/get_pr ... bbavgd=003

Tides like last week-end wouldn't work out so well for putting two or three hundred divers in at Owens Beach for the Treasure Hunt.

You fail.

This way I get great diving + expo in one trip. In fact if you see me at the Expo my hair will still be wet and I will have just finished at a minimum my 7th dive of the previous 48 hours. :neener: It's the perfect storm (me + low exchange + Expo).

LOL....with all those divers in such a small space crazily swimming over/under/around each other looking for golf balls (or whatever they hide for prizes), I think currents might be the least of a participant's worries.

I am looking forward to the Expo on Saturday, but more looking forward to putting more NWDC names to faces. Now if everyone could just wear name tags or something.....:)

I was seriously thinking of donating a supply of "Hello, my name is . . ." stickers at the NWDC booth, but folks would be required to put their screen name on it.
