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 facility is in addition to the event
ticket which is $15 per person, per day for tickets purchased

call 815-389-1479
All activities
will begin at 9am on Saturday and Sunday. When you reach
the location, you will see two large tents. The tents will

be diving! Air fills & dive
gear are available at Pearl Lake as well.

| |
| 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 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 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. This seminar is held on Sunday at 11am. 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, Joe Wysocki of Optiquatics. A schedule
with more detailed information will be posted in the tent.
Underwater Digital Cameras from SeaLife and Optiquatics
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.
Treasure Hunt
Keep your eyes out for golf balls under water. The more
you collect, the better your prize!
Saturday Evening Dinner & Program:

This is a great opportunity to talk with dive industry
leaders, have a great dinner and talk diving! Joe Wysocki
from Optiquatics will sponsor a slide show highlighting
the best pictures from the day. The dinner will be held
at the school across the street from the facility. The
entire evening is only $5 per person for tickets purchased
in advance or $10 per person if ticket is purchased on-site.
