| About the Event & Location |
| Your
event ticket which is $5 (if purchased in advance) or $10
on site, entitles you to participate in all aspects of the
demos, enjoy a barbecue lunch, and participate in the raffle.
Tickets may be purchased in advance at your local participating
dealer, or at www.dui-online.com. Admission to the facility
is free. You can find more information about the area at
www.metroparkstacoma.org. Since the beach is located in the
Point Defiance Park, there is a lot to do for the entire
family.
All activities
will begin at 9am on Saturday and Sunday. When you reach
the location, you will see our two large white tents. The
tents will protect us from the weather so, come rain or
shine, we’ll be
diving!
Air fills are available nearby as there are several dive
stores in the area. If you need to rent gear, please call
the dive store ahead of time. We will not have tanks, regulators,
masks, or weights for rent at the event.
While there is no camping on site, there are camping facilities
nearby and there are many motels and hotels as well. Please
call DUI if you are having trouble and we will try to help.

| |
| Schedule for the Day |
| |
| Demo
Dives: 9am-5pm on Saturday and 9am-4pm on Sunday |
| Registration
for demo dives will begin at 9am on Saturday and Sunday.
Each demo will consist of a dive briefing, equipment sizing,
and an opportunity to ask questions after the dive. As soon
as there are 2-3 people ready to go in the water, an experienced
drysuit diver or instructor will escort you on your dive.
If you are a certified drysuit diver, you are welcome to
dive with your own buddy. You can do as many dives as you
wish. Should you wish to dive a specific type of suit, there
may be a brief wait if that specific suit type is out on
a demo dive. You may try other DUI equipment as well as the
underwater digital cameras provided by Optiquatics. We will
ask that you do at least one dive in the drysuit before trying
to combine the drysuit and camera on the same dive. All DUI
equipment must be returned by 5pm on Saturday and 4pm on
Sunday.
|
| |
| Barbecue Lunch: 11am to 2pm |
| This is included in the event ticket
price and is served to all participants from 11am –2pm.
Please plan your dive schedule appropriately. Family members
of participants can enjoy the barbecue lunch for only $5.
Small children are free with a paid adult. |
| |
| “How to” Seminars |
Field
Repair Seminar, Sunday 11am-12pm
DUI staff will demonstrate seal replacement, changing valves
and overall tips on maintaining drysuits. Space is limited
and pre-registration is recommended. To register contact DUI
Customer Service directly at 800.325.8439 or CustomerService@DUI-Online.com.
Underwater Digital Cameras and video from Optiquatics
Demos will also be held Saturday and Sunday and will
be available for all participating divers. This is
a great activity for DOGs who bring friends to try
DUI products. Your images will be copied onto a CD
(for FREE!) so you can take home and share with friends
and family.
|
| |
| Special Opportunities for DOGs |
DOGs will be given first preference for Optiquatics underwater
digital camera and video demos. DOGs who bring a friend with
them to test dive DUI products will receive a FREE DOG neoprene
mask strap, and commemorative DUI Test Diver hat upon presenting
their equipment and event ticket.
|
| |
| Door Prizes for All Participants |
| All
divers who complete the demo will get a commemorative DUI
TEST DIVER hat and have their names entered into a drawing
for more prizes. DOGs can get a hat upon presentation of
their DUI equipment. |
| |
| Dive the World with DUI |
| New this year! All participants
including staff are entered to win dive trips donated by dive
operations around the world. We will give away smaller prizes
at each event with the grand prizes of free trips with the
Nautilus Explorer and Optiquatics being given away at the end
of the year. |
|
| |
| Things to Bring |
- Basic scuba equipment including mask, snorkel, open heel
fins, regulator with octopus and gauges, tank, weights, BCD,
and cold water hood and gloves. We will have over 90 drysuits
available so we should have plenty for all. We will have
larger fins available in case your fins do not fit the drysuit
boots. We also have DUI hoods, BCS Systems and Weight & Trim
systems available for demo. You will need to supply your
own weights or rent them from a nearby dive store.
- While you are welcome to bring undergarments of your own,
we will have Polartech® PowerStretch®, Thinsulate™,
Thinsulate™ Ultra, Thinsulate™ LiteLoft™ and
ActionWear garments to test dive as well as booties to wear
on your feet under the drysuit.
- Diver certification card and credit card for deposit
- Wear clothing appropriate for the weather and bring your
own favorite snacks, drinks, etc.
- Cameras are a great idea. We will be happy to take pictures
of you and your friends.
