DIVERITE Demo-Day, 21 & 22 July, Athens Scuba Park, Athens TX

10AM – 5PM Saturday
9AM – 3PM Sunday

Welcome!
Dive Rite and Athens Scuba Park would like to invite you to come and dive with us this weekend. Our Demo-Day is designed to share the latest in dive gear TECHnology, share new dive TECHniques and give you a chance to dive with our own TECHnical divers as they share their experience with you. This is a great opportunity to enhance your dive knowledge and check out new dive gear. Details about the Demo-Day are listed below. If you have any additional questions, please contact Athens Scuba Park (903.675.5762) or Ron Carlo (SouthWest Rep) at ronc@diverite.com (214.763.2967).

Admission Requirements
Dive Rite does not charge a fee for our events. Admission to Athens Scuba Park Scuba Park is $20, per person, per day. You can find out more information about the facility at athensscubapark.com or by calling 903.675.5762. All activities will begin at 10am on Saturday. After checking in, you will see the Dive Rate banner and our tent. The tent will protect us from the weather and we will be diving come rain or come shine. Rental dive gear is available on-site or through local dive-stores. Air fills are available on-site.

Certification & Liability Requirements
Divers will need to show their certification card and complete a standard liability release form. A rental form is also required and we ask that a credit card be held as a deposit for all divers who will be trying gear. A parent or guardian who can sign the release forms must accompany divers under the age of 18.

Diving
Prior to your dive, each diver will be fitted with your equipment by one of our dive TECHnicians. Once you are geared up and ready to dive, you will check in/out with the TECHnician in charge. Please understand that these are ‘demo-dives’ and as such, we will ask that you limit your dive(s) to no more than 20 minutes each.

Workshops
Dive Rite will be hosting gear workshops throughout the weekend. The first workshop will be held Saturday at 9AM on HARNESS/WING options and GEAR STREAMLINING, helping divers find the right harness and wing for their diving needs and body style. Ideas on gear streamlining, hose routing and accessory minimization will also be shared. The second workshop will begin at 2PM on Saturday on lighting configurations, demonstrating our different types and models of lights. The third workshop will be held at 10AM Sunday and will introduce divers to the O2PTIMA CLOSED CIRCUIT rebreather. Additional ‘informal’ ones will probably occur as people ask about them.

Things to Bring:
• Dive gear including mask, fins, regulators, BC, computer and gauges, tanks, weights, and suitable exposure gear. (Note: you can rent these items on-site or from a local dive store BEFOREHAND, if you do not currently have them)
• Dive certification card and credit card for deposit.
• Wear clothing appropriate for the weather and bring your own favorite snacks, drinks, etc. Additional snacks and drinks are available at the park office or a short run into town.
