I figured as much, although I was really looking forward to a New Orleans DEMA again. Its been a long time. Some of the best DEMA parties back in the 80's were in New Orleans. I can say no more in a public forum.

I love that show. It's a much, much younger crowd with a different mind set. I've supported her from the beginning.

Who she?

Who she?

She is the awesome Sheri Daye. Just search that name on Youtube.com...

The Blue Wild started as a fund raiser for autism. At first it was centered around spearos, but it's so much more than that now.

Who she?

You know how DEMA has travel, vacation, & liveaboards on EACH aisle?? Yaa,,,, this isn't that show. This is advanced and focused on you finding out new information to be a better diver based on equipment, seminars, and talking to people who are actually underwater EVERY week, not once a year. And also YOU, sharing your knowledge talking face to face with newer divers to keep them safe. You'll meet so many new people because it's more interactive. From what I've seen last 20 years attending both,,, BW does 10 times the dollar sales per attendee than DEMA, it's very productive.

this isn't that show

This is the most unique and vibrant Scuba show in the USA. It's growing while the others seem to be shrinking.
