2019 Toronto Outdoor Adventure Show

[Hoag]

It's almost time for the 2019 Toronto Outdoor Adventure Show! Yes, this show includes more than just scuba, but there is a huge area devoted to the dive industry including dive travel. Lots of dive shops,resorts and LOBs are expected to be represented.

Anybody else going?

Possibly.... Want to meet up with a vendor who said he is planning on being there.

I am not sure which day I will be going yet, but at this point I don't see why not.

We’re checking it out. Looks like it’s a huge show.

It is huge! If you have interests other than diving, it would be very easy to spend a whole day (or two) there talking to people.

I see that Bohio is scheduled to be there. It would be interesting to talk to them face to face and see how the recovery is since the 2 hurricanes. (Apparently, the reefs were deep enough that they had minimal damage, but infrastructure on Grand Turk was hit very hard.)

I will be on a photo trip to Death Valley a couple weeks after the show, so I am hoping to pick up some good info there & then in late March, I am heading out on a dive trip to Cocoview in Roatan and they are scheduled to be there so it will be nice to chat with their rep & find out what to expect first hand.

I'm planning on going for the first time. My wife and I are heading to Bonaire in April and we see that both Buddy Dive and Capt Don's are in attendance. We definitely will drop into their booths. It would be nice if more GTA scuba dealers were at the show.

Should be interesting.
I'm not too far from Toronto.

This show is where I first met Dean from the Dive Academy in Oakville a few years ago.
