Here is your chance to tell the Scuba owners what you want

I'll put in my wishlist

Well actually just one single item.

I want a tool that can easily be carried on every dive for opportunistic lion fish killing. Something that can attach to BP/w and easily deployed and stored and in $50 or so range.

The Mk 40 Mod 0/1 hand grenade costs what? $28 and change?

Check on eBay, but make sure you're getting the "tech black" version

lion fish liontamer Good stuff and I own one. Like most great inventions: it's readily available on the Internet.

....size...it will be BIG!

What are you guys smoking? It could very well be smaller than Houston was. I have heard more manufacturers are not showing up.

ScubaBoard will have it's smallest presence since we first started displaying at DEMA.

Kinda' what I was saying with my initial response.

I couldn't tell if I was missing the [/sarcasm] or not.

DEMA, while not dead, have missed a number of opportunities to utilize the internet, even to rejecting our help. Unfortunately, I think they have taken their lead from the internetaphobia displayed by a number of scuba manufacturers. I used to take it personally until I realized that they are just that stupid.

I would suggest that a better way to reach manufacturers would be RIGHT HERE on ScubaBoard. Send them PMs or post right in their forums. No forum? Start asking them to have one here. It costs them NOTHING and goes a long way to meeting the needs of the diving public.

The manufacturers should look to the auto shows for inspiration to energize DEMA. Why do we go to auto shows? To gape at cars that we could theoretically afford if we sold the house and put the wife out on the street to raise gas money? No! We go to gape at car girls. DEMA needs regulator girls: B-grade models who successfully negotiate the treacherous path between trashy and seductive while draping their satin-clad bodies across the latest titanium regulator display. Get that sorted out and I'll buy a DEMA ticket. I don't really care what you're selling, my gear will last another 20 years.

The best DEMA is when we were co-located with the "Surf Show". Lots o' hot babes not to mention the staff at the "Porn Star" clothing line booth.

All this, and NetDoc still isn't showing us the pictures of them nekkid Russkie Mermaids from the Moscow Dive Show.

How do you store it when not in use? I don't want to hold something all the time.
