I was able to pick up 50% off ticket discount coupon at Conch Republic Divers in Tavernier
I saw them at Fill Express in Pompano Beach.

I find it dangerous to help myself to what's on business's counters is S Florida. One day we will indeed meet. I will be the one with the SB battle scars...

We'll, How was the show? I'd like to hear all about it. What did I miss?

You missed a LOT. I wish you were here!
I had a great time. We had a weather advisory the first day (threats of tornados) and still people came out. 60+ vendors in over 80 booths was great. It wasn't the largest show, I have attended but the quality of the visitors and the vendors was quite high.
I think it was Nestor from SDI/TDI who pointed out that having a booth was a good economic indicator for a shop, manufacturer, or even agency! Those that are in economic trouble just did not attend. While I am sure that there are many who are economically sound not attending for various other reasons, it's the local Scuba Show like this one that does a lot to generate more interest in our sport. All of us have a stake in making these shows fly.
FWIW, none of the vendors was disappointed in the show! Skip from Force-E had a great retail day there and offered some deals reminiscent of his big tent sales! That alone was worth the price of admission. Some big trips were given away to far off lands, and you could even catch up on what it takes to be a solo or a tech diver with SDI/TDI. PADI was there as well, and there was a lot of laughter coming from their booth.
I have to admit that Brad does OK for a guy lacking one eye and an opposable thumb! (Inside joke!)
