Dive Expo this weekend!

Post by John Rawlings »

I won't be there Sunday, but I'm hoping to see as many of you as possible at the Dive Expo in Tacoma tomorrow! :taco:

I'll be there Saturday, and Sunday afternoon, too. Really looking forward to the exhibits, and running into all the people I don't get to see very often!

I'm guessing if Jackie is going to be there, it will be the Hot Mama's booth. :rofl:

I'll be there with Dive Around the Clock and REEF (it's very convenient that they are just a few booths apart). :supz:

I will be there Sunday and I feel like I should wear a name tag that says "Scubie Doo". I am sure I will see alot of NWDC members but you won't have your screen names and avatars floating above your heads :(

That is a problem isn't it. Hell half the divers I only know by their screen names. I think all club members should wear name tags.

Hey Jesse, I dove the BC yesterday and it worked nice and smooth for me as far as "feel", gear rigging (Thanks to Mike's changes!), and comfort. I'll be wandering around all day Sunday, so how would ya like some of that green paper stuff with numbers on it? I'll PM you with my phone #... also, the Chinese Reconciliation Park was kinda fun - not a lot of stuff there for structure, but critters nonetheless...

Stuff to look for:
Nautilus Lifeline emergency radio @ Nautilus Explorer booth
White Arrow spools @ Dive Gear Express booth
H spool/reel hybrids & travel plate @ Tacoma Scuba booth
HOG SMBs with tiny overpressure valve @ HOG/Edge booth
