DUI Demo Days
June 13 to 15
Tickets for the annual DUI Demo Days event at the Oregon Coast Aquarium are now on sale at HydroSports.
Each year DUI drives a huge truck to the aquarium in Newport filled with hundreds of dry suits, under garments, souvenir hats, rock boots, gloves and hoods. DUI dealers from the region bring dozens of BCDs and regulators to the event as well as staff to support the event.
You, a certified diver, may test dive a DUI dry suit in one of the three huge exhibit tanks, gain admission to the aquarium for a day, enjoy a barbecue lunch and mingle with DUI staff and owners. Non-divers may participate by snorkeling in the exhibit tanks on Friday.
Tickets are limited. We have sold out each year.
Dry suit dive or snorkel experience tickets are $50 (cash price). Buy an extra lunch ticket for $5. Buy a ticket to a hosted dinner with DUI, aquarium and dealer staff for $20.
Call HydroSports today to purchase your DUI Demo Days tickets,

Compression Only CPR
 | |
Compression Only CPR
|
Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the United States, which is one of the primary reasons CPR has become such an important part of first aid response. One evolution in CPR techniques is that of compression-only CPR. This is where rescuers forgo rescue breathing and concentrate only on compressions.
This technique was developed in part to counter the perceived risk of disease transmission associated with rescue breathing. In short, bystanders weren't performing CPR when they could have because they didn't want to risk communicable disease infection.

June Dive Club Meeting, THURSDAY, June 12, 6:30 PM
Our speaker this month is John Boyer.
John began his diving career in 1950 as a member of the Deerlodge County Search and Rescue in Anaconda, Montana wearing a Mark V Hard Hat. After earning a bachelors degree in business administration he had a 13 year career with a national drug store chain. John became a PADI instructor, managed dive shops, managed the PADI Retail Association, owned a dive resort in Cabo San Lucas and now represents Diving Unlimited International and Henderson Aquatics.
John will be speaking with us about DUI's history and latest innovations in dry suit technology. If you ever wanted to ask an expert a question about a dry suit, this is your opportunity.
John and many staff members of HydroSports as well as other DUI regional dealers will be hosting the annual DUI Demo Days at the Oregon Coast Aquarium June 13 to 15. Tickets are available at HydroSports.

Advanced Open Water Diver Class
Exploration, Excitement, Experiences.
They're what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about. And no, you don't have to be "advanced" to take it - it's designed so you can go straight into it after the PADI Open Water Diver course.
The Advanced Open Water Diver course helps you increase your confidence and build your scuba skills so you can become more comfortable in the water. This is a great way to get more dives under your belt while continuing to learn under the supervision of your PADI Instructor.
This course builds on what you've learned and develops new capabilities by introducing you to new activities and new ways to have fun scuba diving.
Join us at the orientation meeting June 10 at 6:30 PM. We'll talk about the two required dives, Underwater Navigation and Deep and the many options for the remaining three adventure dives you may add to customize your class.

Introducing Stewart Tanner
HydroSports Technical Instructor
HydroSports is pleased to introduce Stewart Tanner, a tremendous addition to our Education Team.
Stew grew up on the beaches of Southern
California surfing, fishing snorkeling and sailing. First certified in 1987 he didn't pursue diving as a career. I 2007 Stew married and recertified before his honeymoon. The hook was set. Stew soon became a PADI instructor and quickly earned the rank of PADI Master Instructor, TDI Technical Instructor, Poseidon Rebreather Instructor and US Coast Guard 100 Ton Master. Dedicated to safety and leading by example, Stew will be bringing his passion for teaching technical diving, both open circuit and rebreather diving, to HydroSports. Stew will be our featured speaker at our July 16 Dive Club meeting. If you've ever wondered why anyone would dive beyond the recreational dive limits, if you're in good enough physical shape to be a technical diver, what the costs and training requirements of technical diving are, please join us July 16 at 6:30 PM. If you have no interest in technical diving, join us to welcome Stew to our family. |
