I will try to be at this but it is right in the middle of my work week ](*,)

If I show, I will go on the record right now and let all of you know....I look nothing like my avitar and I will not be able to pull off that look, unless I drop about a 100 lbs.

I'll wear my best NWDC T-shirt :breakdance: :partydance:

Life can be short and dives even shorter. Time off work will put it all in perspective.

The NW Dive Expo is coming up soon, don't forget to plan for it. If you want to try a rebreather or learn about them, this is your chance :smt038

I'm getting excited for the Expo...I'll be by the booth to visit the NWDC'ers...but will also be at the XRay Magazine booth the entire show...so be sure to stop by. (bringing chocolate would be a bonus...)

Looking at the lineup...the show is much more like a mini-DEMA this year...so if you've never been to a DEMA (Dive Equipment Manufacturers Association) show because it's only for pro's in the industry...then this is your chance. More travel, more gear...can't wait!!!

I know what you mean! I'll probably be switching back and forth between ADM and NWDC shirts all weekend!

I'm really looking forward to this show!

I, on the other hand, will have no such problem. NWDC T-Shirt will be it for me. Unless... maybe I can get myself "hired" by someone else and wear their T-Shirt... Hmmm... possibilities... more "sway"!

I am also really looking forward to this show!

Last year I was in Maui during the first Expo and I missed it, but this year I will be there as well! :thumb3d:

I will be hanging out at one of the Tacoma Scuba booths (808,810,812) doing some promoting for
Catamaran Inula. http://www.inula-diving.com (look for the TV playing some kick-ass underwater footage)

Please stop by and say Hello. Looking forward to meet some more NWDC Members. :mmmbeer:

C U at the Expo,

Just Saturday. I'll be cruising all the booths but if DATC or NWDC needs someone to sit at their booths for awhile, I can probably do that for part of the day.

I will be there with the Flashback Scuba Museum's collection vintage scuba & Cousteau equipment. We have seven booths with lots to see. There will be a collection of rare Navy scuba and surface supplied gear sponsored by Vintage Scuba Supply from Selma OR and a new time capsule exhibit featuring gear, catalogs and info from 1954, 1958, 1965. There will also be a time line exhibit showing the evolution of the aqualung from 1947 to the invention of the early single hose designs. We will be easier to find this year. Come say hello.

I just realized something . . . Once AGAIN, I will NOT be able to be part of a rebreather experience event! I have been unable to attend two that have been held in the area, because they were dates I was working, and I was SO looking forward to showing up in Tacoma with my bathing suit, and getting to play with one of these machines. I guess I'll just have to admire from a distance, and hope for next year's show.

Rick Stratton from NW Dive News is looking for a couple of instructors to run try dives in the pool on Saturday and Sunday at the Dive Expo and he is willing to compensate $100/day per person.

You have to be a current instructor with insurance and willing to put the time in to do this.

Should be fun and get paid also.

If you are interested, let me know.
