I’ll be at the show looking for the yellow T-shirts. I will try to make it to the 7:00 meet & greet.

I’ll be there on Saturday only. Sunday I’ll be on the Peace (out of Ventura harbor) for a one-day, four-tank trip to Anacapa and Santa Cruz islands.

I’d suggest we all hop aboard, but it’s a bit of a drive from Long Beach.

WooHoo! I can’t wait for this CA show. Our future diving kiddo’s are going to be sporting their divebuddy shirts and camo pants. It’ll be great to meet everyone who’s going to be there but I’m bad with names just to pre-warn ya’ll. See you there! - Becky (Ms. Divebuddy)

I will exhibit at the show (well, if I can make a 4 days trip from Florida with my van full of paintings) , booth #327-329, and I will display your brochure or flyers.


I will be stuck on my booth, so come to say Hi!

I’m thinking about getting us all the yellow shirts from cafepress (http://www.cafepress.com/divebuddy). I wore these at the tradeshow in NJ and they really stood out. Plus, if you’re a biker, they’re great when riding if you want other drivers to see you:)


I think we should also consider wearing similar pants or shorts. Like camo or something. That would be so cool...all of us in a yellow DiveBuddy shirt with camo shorts (or skirt for the ladies).

My wife (KArmstr105)and I will be there Sat.& Sun., we are staying Saturday night at the Courtyard Long Beach on East First Street... Our shirt size is Large and X-Large and we would love to wear them at the show... See you there... P.S. We just got out of the water in Maui... Can’t get enough...

We’ll be there again this year, it’s a fun event, including the hangovers from the after dive parties.

GREG,,, Well if its only a dive for sunday afternoon, because of plan air flights out, the quickest & easiest dive would be in laguna beach. Car pool there, I can have my boat next to the beach & take people out to the reefs to save swim time. There are reefs & kelp off the coast there. One of the best things to do is go out to our islands out here, thats the best diving. Id go to the back side of Catalina & stay at two harbors. Ive taken my boat there & take a group of us at a time to the outside of the cove. Lots of big fish to see on the back side. I have a truck boat & camper, always looking for fun different adventures with people. Any ideas from anyone?? I only dove near the harbor once, the water around the harbor is different,,,, I wont dive near a harbor again.

I’ll be working the show for the Aquarium of the Pacific, but not all of the time. Size large.

I’ll be at the show. I’m planning on working a booth at least one day, if not both.
