Any chance of alternate ways of entry? How about on SCUBABOARD where we are NOW?

[sroeder]

There are currently two places to enter: the Oceanic website & the Oceanic Facebook Page. Mostly everybody in the world is on Facebook, including most new divers. We want our Facebook page to be an easily accessible place where people can quickly get updates and get a little more personable about advise, experiences, etc.

We will of course continue our presence here on Scubaboad but are making an effort to expand our presence on Facebook as well.

We will also be posting the winners daily here and on Facebook.

[Pelagicsal]

Excellent! Headed to the Oceanic site now....

Oops! Guess I'll be keeping an eye out for details on how to enter.

I'll stick with SB over FB...

[oreocookie]

So I went to enter the contest and found out it's only open in the US and Caribbean... Unlike. :shakehead:

[dmoore19]

So I went to the facebook page. Couldn't find where to enter. I went to oceanicworldwide.com couldn't find a place to enter.

Gotta make it easier.

[Down-under]

Waste of time for those not in US or Caribbean!:no:
Doesn't the other areas of the world count, we support you as well?:fishslap:
As others have mentioned, unable to find link once on Oceanic web site.

My rating of this post thread out of 10 = -20

[Pelagicsal]

So I went to enter the contest and found out it's only open in the US and Caribbean... Unlike. :shakehead:
You discovered how to enter?!?

[oreocookie]

I tried on their FB page... if you're on there, go to Oceanic Worldwide | Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/DiveOceanic) , click on 40th Giveaway on the left side, then you'll get to the entry page, but you may have to scroll to the right to see the fields to put in your details (it doesn't fit on my screen), so at first glance it might look like there's no way to enter... if you're not on FB, I just looked at the Oceanic website, but I couldn't find it. not good marketing, in my mind.

Tries to enter for a t/shirt, opppps can't do as not in the small entry condition region!

[markmantei]

No love for Canada either. I guess we're 2nd class divers. With this much caring from oceanic I guess the hollis regs are off the shopping list for the upcoming season.

PITA


Daily submission, really?

[lmorin]

There are currently two places to enter: the Oceanic website & the Oceanic Facebook Page. Mostly everybody in the world is on Facebook, including most new divers. ...........................

You may be right about the new divers, but I'll bet that there is a rather large fraction of divers, the older group of which there are quite a few, who have never participated in Facebook and, somehow, don't feel they are missing anything. Then there are those divers who have grown up a bit and feel they have been-there-done-that with respect to Facebook, i.e., they've outgrown it.

[ScubaMarc]

Mostly everybody in the world is on Facebook, including most new divers.

This is not true and as more people are joining facebook, many are leaving or just not using facebook.

[Doug Krause]

The promo is running on our web site - people are still using the Internets, no? Good luck.

Still US only :shakehead:

Thought the website was called Oceanic WORLWIDE.com

[mikepeluso]

odd that it isnt a give away for all the countries that sell the products.
we have a few dive watches from oceanic but we still cant enter this give away. seems fishy to me.

[sroeder]

Great news everybody! We are working on opening up the "40th Anniversary" Sweepstakes internationally! There were a few logistical challenges that we had to overcome but the changes are being made now and should be in effect some time tomorrow. We'll let you know when its ready!

I'm also rather disappointed, but more in the way the disqualification is not mentioned up front. I purchased the Atom 3.0 here in Canada with the transmitter, and so thought this brought me into the Oceanic "family". I saw the announcement, went to Facebook, "liked" the page, and visited the website. There was a form there asking for entry information, including a "postal code", which is what we call it in Canada (it's a "zip code" in the USA, isn't it?). I chose "Canada" from the (very long) pull-down list of countries. Nothing in any of this suggests that only residents from the US and Caribbean are eligible - this is revealed only in the contest rules.

The products are marketed and sold in Canada, so why would Canadian purchasers not be included?

If there is an exclusion, why would it not be expressed up front in the announcement, on the FB page, and on the website entry page?

Having made my entry, and subsequently found that I'm not qualified by reason of geography, what reaction and consumer impression does Oceanic believe will be the result of my experience? The answer is rather obvious.

[sroeder]

We were out all day testing new equipment and did not have a chance to get to a computer to update the rules on the contest page. The sweepstakes is now international and open to all countries. We will be removing the line referring to "US and Caribbean only" later tonight. Your entry from today is valid. Once again, sorry for the confusion. Thanks!

[jpro]

@sroeder:

Thank you for the update. Given the number of Oceanic equipment users worldwide, I harbour no illusions regarding my chances of winning one of the prizes, but inclusion is always a better experience than exclusion. I appreciate Oceanic's willingness to make the revision. (And I'm very much looking forward to getting my new Atom wet once I've finished the online training!)

Reading the rules, I note a rule mentioning Canada. Maybe it's open to Canada now.

[sroeder]

Correct, the sweepstakes is open to all countries worldwide including Canada!
