| 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. There is a small parking
fee of $7 that must be paid to the facility. You can find
more information about the area at http://cuyunacountry.net/index.cfm.
The area has some of the finest diving in Minnesota with
great visibility and lots of aquatic life swimming around
the underwater forests. There is also plenty to do with the
family as this area is a well known tourist destination with
excellent shopping, other sport activities and plenty of
places to stay.
All activities will take place at
the Portsmouth Mine and 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 Brainerd. There will also be a mobile fill
station at the lake that weekend. On site air fills will
be $7. 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.
We will be setup next to the Portsmouth Lake Campground.
Camping is $11/night and we recommend making reservations
by calling 218-546-5926, and there are many motels and
hotels in Brainerd as well. Please call DUI if you are
having trouble and we will try to help.

| Schedule for the Day |
| |
| Registration
and Test Dives: 9am-5pm Saturday & 9am-4pm Sunday |
| Registration
will begin at 9am on Saturday. All divers will need to show
your certification card at the facility. 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 from your local dealer or on-line 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 at 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 dive deck 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 dive on your
own. You can do as many dives as you wish. With numerous
suits there usually is little wait, though you may need
to wait a short time if you would like to dive a specific
type of drysuit.
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.

of participants can enjoy the barbecue lunch for only $5.
Small children are free with a paid adult. |

| Special Opportunities for DOGs |

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

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. If you want to try the 30/30
drysuit, please bring your wetsuit boots as this suit uses
ankle seals.
- 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.
