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 $19/diver for those who purchase their DUI tickets in advance. Regular admission is $22. You can find more information about the area, including accommodations and camping, at www.dutchsprings.com or call 610-759-2270.

All activities will begin at 9am on Saturday and Sunday. For information about the public safety event on Friday, please see the Public Safety Section of the website. When you reach the location, you will see two large tents on the peninsula. The tents will protect us from the weather so, come rain or shine, we’ll be diving!

Air fills are available at Dutch Springs along with nitrox. If you need to rent gear, please call ahead. Your admission also includes the opportunity to use the new Aqua Park and High Adventure Course. These two programs are also open to non-divers.

 
Schedule for the Day
 
Registration and Test Dives: 9am to 5pm Saturday and 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 for the specific type of drysuit you want.

 
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
Informative and fun “How to” seminars will be taught throughout the weekend. Our most popular seminar is DUI Field Repair Seminar. We will demonstrate seal replacement, finding and patching holes, changing valves and overall tips on maintaining drysuits. Space is limited and pre-registration is recommended. To register contact DUI Customer Service directly at CustomerService@DUI-Online.com or 800.325.8439. Other seminars on photography will be offered by our partner, SeaLife® ReefMaster® cameras. NEW THIS YEAR, Divers Alert Network will be offering safety seminars throughout the weekend. This is a great opportunity to have fun and learn something at the same time. A schedule with more detailed information will be posted in the tent.

Underwater Digital Cameras from SeaLife
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.

Saturday Evening Dinner & Program: Saturday 6pm
This is a great opportunity to talk with dive industry leaders, have a great dinner and talk diving! Dick Long will give a fun presentation on DUI and some of the exciting adventures you can have with your DUI drysuit. The dinner will be held at the Pavilion on the peninsula. The entire evening is only $5 per person for tickets purchased in advance or $10 per person if ticket is purchased on-site.
