Dive & Travel Expo Comes to Pacific Northwest

First annual consumer dive show combines an exciting, prize packed, Treasure Hunt and “Deep Ambitions” Career Fair with a traditional trade show for a powerful consumer experience.

Set for May 3 and 4 at Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center, this show will give consumers a special opportunity to see the spectacular sport of scuba diving in the Northwest and across the world.

We are giving the public a hands-on opportunity see and connect with the incredible diving in the Puget Sound while at the same time, connecting them with dive businesses and resorts from around the world.

This is the first consumer Dive and Travel Show in Pacific Northwest in more than 25 Years. This show features more than 130 exhibits, 80 seminars, and a professionally directed underwater photo and video film festival. The show also includes a huge scuba demo pool sponsored by AquaQuip Pools, the largest pool and spa dealer in the Puget Sound. The Expo features a nationally recognized FREE enrichment program called “Deep Ambitions” which introduces young people to careers in the scuba diving industry.

“The Dive & Travel Expo has created a truly balanced consumer event for the divers of the Pacific Northwest. Compared to all of the other consumer dive shows currently being conducted in the United States, this show has the highest percentage of manufacturing exhibitors, the highest percentage of retail dive center exhibitors, the highest percentage of non-profit service organization exhibitors, and the highest percentage of charter dive boat exhibitors. It would seem that the divers in the Pacific Northwest are in for a very special treat on May 3 & 4, 2008.” - Gene Muchanski, Dive Industry Association, Inc.

More than 150 companies have partnered with the expo including all the leading dive certification agencies, the major dive equipment manufacturers, photography and videography companies, travel agencies, dive centers, publishing agencies, authors and dive celebrities. Non-dive companies like Borders Books and Best Buy have also partnered with the Expo in order to connect with this active and discriminating consumer segment.

The Northwest Dive and Travel Expo will be held on May 3 and 4 at the Greater Tacoma Convention Tacoma, Washington. Tickets are $10 at door or thru Ticket Master or at Northwest Dive and Travel Expo - Welcome to the Northwest Dive and Travel Expo! Questions 360-240-1874 or e-mail rick@divenewsmag.com.
