I hear people asking about DEMA (the big dive show for retailers) all the time. Truth be known, I have always enjoyed the "retail" or consumer dive shows a whole lot more. Having been to a bunch of them, New Jersey, Houston and more, but my heart belongs to Our World Underwater (OWU), right here, next to Frozen Lake Michigan. Besides the ice divers... we can dream and plan for warmer Chicago months or just flying out of O'Hare heading for warmer climes. People come to OWU from all over... Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota... it's well attended!
OWU will be held February 15-17th, 2008 in Rosemont, right next to O'hare and I-294 & I-90. See the website at Our World-Underwater 2008 - Home - Our World Underwater or just click on the rotating banner that was just added on SCUBABoard. I have seen this forum just idle for some time, so since that banner appeared, I figured I would jump in.
I do have an ulterior motive. I will have a speaker's slot for a presentation entitled: Advanced Dive Travel... are you ready for it? Check the schedule. I will bring a few "been there done that" dive buddies, plus... (for her only appearance this year) SCUBA Barbie. Yes, she will be there in person.
These shows are fun. Besides seeing all of the hardware, checking out resorts, seeing the film festival, you will likely meet lots of SCUBABoarders (at the SB Booth), including Fearless Leader unless the cold weather scares him away....again! :11:
