"Announcing The Blue Wild Expo 2010 -- on June 5 and 6! That's the first weekend in June at the Ft. Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center. It's our fourth year, and we've outgrown our previous venue.

We have plenty of action for all divers, whether you're a scuba diver or freediver, whether you are interested in underwater photography or videography, spearfishing or wreck diving, whether you love marine artwork or want to learn more about blackouts, shark management, or dive history....we have something for everyone, including a Film Festival!

Speakers this year: Dr. Jose Castro (world renowned shark scientist from Mote Marine Labs), Rob Torelli (spearo and award winning videographer who has filmed all kinds of sharks, whales, etc, for major networks), Pipin Ferreras, Manny Puig, Ron Mullins, Art Pinder, Dan MacMahon, Kirk Krack, Dimitris Kollias, and lots more. We also have many Exhibitors (many who will give Presentations/Product Demos) including the Riffe's, Mark Laboccetta, Kevin Bruington, Daryl Wong, Ray Powell, Guy Skinner, Roger Yazbeck, and many more. The Expo also features interesting hands-on Workshops and a huge Raffle at the end of each day with over $30K of prizes!

Don't miss the Friday Evening Kick Off Party at the Marriott Courtyard on Ft. Lauderdale Beach -- on the sundeck, right on the beach, drinks, music, and lots of fun. The nightlife in Ft. Lauderdale Beach is HOT!

For out-of-towners (and in-towners who want to party), our sponsoring hotel, the Marriott Courtyard on Ft. Lauderdale Beach is offering an amazing $89/room rate (on the beach). We recommend that you take a taxi from the Ft. Lauderdale airport if you are flying in, to avoid parking. We will have a shuttle running continuously to the Convention Center which is 2 miles away. The previous weekend is Memorial Day. If you want to make a week out of it, that special rate still applies if you are attending the Expo. Space is limited, so reserve early.

You can dive right off the beach during the day and party at the clubs and restaurants at night. But most of all, you won't want to miss this Expo! For hotel and other info, and to register in advance, go to this website.... The Blue Wild Ocean Adventure Expo."

I would encourage anyone interested in diving, and especially spearfishing, to attend this event. It is a great show put on by great folks!!!

My anniversary is June 6th, so I am trying to figure out how to tell my wife that we can spend a nice weekend with a bunch of divers... :)

It was fun. We hit the elbow room and treasure trove after the show.
