About the Event & Location
Your event ticket entitles you to participate in all aspects of the demos, enjoy a barbecue lunch, and participate in the raffle. The National Polytechnic College of Engineering and Oceaneering offers a unique opportunity for you to visit a one of a kind commercial diving training facility. The large dive tanks will make it a great “test dive” site, and the viewing portholes make it an enjoyable day for divers and non-divers alike. Bring the family! Tours of the facility including the recompression chamber will be available. For more information about the National Polytechnic College of Engineering and Oceaneering, visit www.natpoly.edu.

All activities will begin at 9am on Saturday.

Air fills are available on site and other rental equipment is available nearby.

 
Schedule for the Day
 
Registration and Test Dives: 9am to 5pm
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.

Test Dives will be conducted Saturday until 5pm. All equipment must be returned at that 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 day. Topics for these 20 minute seminars will include but are not limited to Insulation Strategies and Proper Weighting. A schedule with more detailed information will be posted in the tent.
 
Special Opportunities for DOGs
DOGs who bring a friend with them to test dive DUI products will receive a FREE DUI Slap Strap.
 
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.
 
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.
