I've been engaged in many hobbies over the years. Shooting, fishing, flying, photography, Astronomy. All have trade shows where the industry shows up with the newest stuff for next year. All the trade shows are open to everyone - retailers, and consumers. I've never been able to figure out what this BS is about "only professionals" being allowed into DEMA. Am I missing something here? Is there a good reason why we the consumers of SCUBA equipment and training aren't allowed to see whats new and coming in the sport. I should be a DM by years end so the point will be moot for me, but I still think this whole "professionals only" thing stinks.
