There’s two diver’s events coming up – Diver’s Day at The Aquarium of the Pacific and The SCUBA Show.<\/p>\n
Too bad they can’t time these events with crappy conditions.<\/p>\n
I haven’t been the The Aquarium on Diver’s Day, but I have been to the Aquarium.<\/p>\n
If you can tolerate hundreds of screaming kids running around and $6 Budweisers, this may be the place to go.<\/p>\n
They have a lot of interesting displays, including one of the Redondo Canyon – minus the trash.<\/p>\n
I probably won’t be attending Diver’s Day, but I definitely will be at the SCUBA Show on Saturday, May 15.<\/p>\n
I’ve been going for the last few years; the displays and seeing old dive friends – or at least people who act like they don’t hate me – makes it all worth while.<\/p>\n
I didn’t find the seminars too informative, only because they were geared towards newer divers.<\/p>\n
TIP:<\/strong> The beer stand is usually hidden in a corner near the food stand – to the right, as you walk in.<\/p>\n Save your empty cup and ask, “How much for a refill?”<\/p>\n You will often get a discount beer, as long as the money you pay goes in the bar tender’s tip jar.<\/p>\n Diver’s Day Sunday, Mar 28, 2010 FREE for divers with Photo ID and diving certification; members’ guests receive 20% off.<\/p>\n Diver’s Day At The Aquarium of the Pacific.<\/a><\/p>\n The SCUBA Show – May 15 & 16, 2010 The SCUBA Show, America’s Largest Consumer Dive Expo, will take place May 15-16 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California.<\/p>\n This is the 23rd year of this popular event.<\/p>\n Exhibit hall hours: Exhibit Hall Admission is $12.
