I went to the first session of the scubafest event in Wilmington OH last evening(3/9/07).
I took the PSI upadate and was the only person to sign up for that class. The instructor, Dave Leander, went right on with the presentation. It was a very good review of the recent decisions regarding cylinder inspections. Dave also shared with me some of his policies and materials that he uses as a dive shop owner regarding cylinder inspections and fill station operations.
Prior to the class session I looked at the displays that were set up(many had not arrived yet) and ran across some things to buy. Unfortunately I made a bad decision to not buy anything until after the class session was over. Most of the vendors had closed their booths by the time the class was over so I was n't able to buy the things I wanted
One thing that is a must see in my opinion is the art work done by Pascal Lecocq. His studio is called Cerulean Blue and is in Florida. He has some galleries in a three or places in Florida. His oil paintings are awesome IMO. I like his ideas and really like the color brilliance in the oil paintings. He had some post cards for sale that are prints of the oil paintings that I wanted to buy but he had closed for the evening during my PSI class. He is also interested in painting scenes with horses so I really hope we get to see his works in Ky in the future. Definitely have a good look at his work if you go to scubafest.
I met several dive operators from Michigan and picked up some information from Blackbeards Cruises. I hope to make a trip to Port Sanilac this summer and a trip with Blackbeards this fall/winter.
Those of you who make it to scubafest for Saturday and sunday will have much more to see and do. Enjoy!!
