Congratulations! DUI and your participating DUI dealer are excited you will be participating in the DUI DOG RALLY & DEMO DAYS at the Bonne Terre Mine in Bonne Terre, Missouri; one of National Geographic’s top 10 adventure destinations! We welcome divers to explore this historic lead mine with gin-clear water and demo great gear at the same time. This unique opportunity to try DUI drysuits, Buoyancy Control Systems and other DUI products will be made all the more exciting while diving through the mammoth caverns carved out by man in the 1800’s. DUI owners (DOGs) will get special prizes for bringing a friend to try DUI products and can try the latest from DUI and SeaLife ReefMaster cameras as well. Due to the unique nature of this location, please review the material below before arriving for the event .

Schedule of Activities

Demos
Demos will be conducted Saturday from 9am-5pm and Sunday from 9am-4pm. All divers will need to be out of the water by that time. Each demo will consist of a dive briefing, drysuit sizing, and question & answer session after the actual dive. Each diver must sign up for a specific time in advance. If you miss your slot, we will do our best to accommodate you at a later time. 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 (with a Bonne Terre guide). You are welcome to do more than one dive depending on time as new divers will be given first priority. We have over 70 drysuits and related products so we are likely to have something for everyone. You can try other equipment as well including SeaLife® ReefMaster® underwater cameras.

Barbecue Lunch
This is served to all participants from 11am –1pm or 2pm. Lunch is included for participants. Family members of participants enjoy lunch for $5. Small children eat free with a paid adult.
