| About the Event & Location |
| Your
DUI 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. Admission to the facility is in addition to the event
ticket. Purchasing your ticket in advance entitles you to
a discounted admission rate to Lake Rawlings- $16/day instead
of $18/day so be sure to purchase your DEMO and Saturday
Night Dinner tickets in advance and save the money for an
air fill or two.
Lake Rawlings has an excellent website. Go to www.lakerawlings.com for more information about the facility and the diving
conditions. The facility is great for the entire family
with good visibility for divers and swimming and snorkeling
for non-divers.
All activities will begin at 9am
on Saturday and Sunday. When you reach the location,
there will be signs to guide you to our large white tents.
The tents will protect us from the weather so, come rain
or shine, we’ll be
diving!
Air fills and rental gear are available. If you need to
rent gear, please call ahead. For information about accommodations
and camping, visit
www.lakerawlings.com or call 800-583-3781.

| Schedule for the Day |
| |
| Registration
and Test Dives: 9am to 5pm Saturday and
9am-4pm Sunday |
| All
divers will need to check in with the facility and at the
DUI event. Don’t
forget your C-card as it is required for both the facility
and the DUI event. You will also need to complete a liability
release form and rental form, and we will ask that a credit
card or drivers license be held as a deposit. A parent or guardian
who can sign the appropriate forms must accompany participants
under 18. These forms are available on site, from your local
dealer or on-line (www.dui-online.com) so you can fill them
out in advance if you like.
Test Dives will be conducted Saturday until 5pm and Sunday
until 4pm. All equipment must be returned by that time. Divers
must enter the water by 4pm on Saturday and 3pm on Sunday
to ensure we have the equipment back in time.
Prior to the demo, each diver will
be fitted with the appropriate drysuit and other equipment.
Once you are dressed and ready to dive, you will check
in with the divemaster in charge of the beach who will
assign you an instructor or divemaster as a guide. 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
plan your dives accordingly. You can do as many dives as
you wish. With numerous suits there usually is little wait.
If you’d like to test dive a specific
model of suit, please let the staff know so that they can
do their best to make one available for you
|
| |
| 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. |

Informative and fun “How to” seminars
will be taught throughout the weekend. Our most popular seminar

patching holes, changing valves and overall tips on maintaining
drysuits. Space is limited and pre-registration is recommended.

yet educational weekend. They will be conducting safety seminars
and will be available to answer your questions about DAN’s
products and services.

Will be there with
SeaLife® ReefMaster® underwater digital cameras and
other digital camera and video equipment for demo. First
priority will be given to DOGs and demo divers who have done
1 or more dives in the drysuit. This is to ensure minimal
task loading. Images will be copied onto a CD for divers
to take home for FREE.

under water. The more you collect, the better your prize!
Saturday Evening Dinner & Program:
