Dear Backscatter management,

My husband and I participated in the 2019 Scubaboard Surge in Curacao this week. Last evening my husband was blessed with a Flip6 Pro Package and this email is to thank you for your generous gift. Dennis and Roxanne work so diligently and tirelessly to ensure the Surge is a great experience for all participants. Donations from sponsors are a big part of the Surge experience and enable them to give blessings to participants.

Thank you for your generosity,

Steven and Rebecca Smith
Midland, Michigan

P.S. My husband and I were discussing this week my need for a new underwater camera. We now have greater motivation

A quick note to all the SB Surge 2019 Curacao sponsors.

Once again, I came up empty in the prize category. Felt kind of sad being the only one left at my table with a raffle ticket still in hand, but I was happy that all my friends won some marvelous prizes through your tremendous generosity.

The fact that you support ScubaBoard and these events does not go unnoticed. Personally, you become preferred businesses when I have a need for your product, inventory or service. There are a lot of options out there, but SB sponsors narrow the field for me.

Thanks for supporting ScubaBoard events!

Hello SB Surge Curacao Sponsors:

My wife and I are recipients of your generosity.

We are 3 time winners on this trip.

1. We got to dive with Bruce and Lynn Partridge of Shearwater Research. They let me test-dive two of their computers complete with personal tutorials. They are amazing people and it is no wonder that their products are best-in-class, and best in SCUBA (tech or recreational) for dive computers. Hands down, the best. I will be buying one of their Perdix AI computers from my LDS this spring.
2. My wife, Cathy, won the Oasis Coral Estates, plus 5 days of two tank boat dives with Coral Divers (FOR TWO, I'M ALL IN ON THIS ONE). We also get 6 days of breakfasts at Karakter or Bread and More restaurants. Oh yeah, and we won a couples massage at SPA 8! Coral Divers Curacao and Oasis Coral Estates Curacao are easily google searched on the web. Check them out. Just gorgeous! West end diving is supposed to be calm and quiet!
3. Our third prize was a gift card from Divers Direct. Always handy, always needed. It will be spent wisely.

Thanks again for sponsoring our Surge vacation. It was 7 days of wall-to-wall fun.

Cheers,
markm

Cool!

Many thanks to @Ocean Encounters for making every single dive day amazing. Even the surface intervals had beautiful scenery and some interesting history lessons! Every single person on the Ocean Encounters team went above and beyond to make us feel sooooo welcome. What a hard working, professional and FUN crew! We can't wait to go back to Curacao to dive with you all again!

Thanks also to @Shearwater for the opportunity to dive with your amazing computers. I fell in love with the Perdix AI after trying one at the last invasion and bought one just before this trip. Now we are saving up for ChrisoftheAbyss and CownoseRachel to buy theirs this year also.

I didn't wind up winning any contests or drawings this year, but I enjoyed seeing my friends and family win some cool prizes from the other sponsors. And the memories I took home from this trip were definitely priceless!

Dennis and Roxanne make it so painless that it's easy to take the organization for granted. Thanks for making it easy for us D & R. Everything just happened on time and as expected.

I was able to use one of the Terics all week long. I liked it so much that bought one. I'll get to use it next week in Cozumel.
