DEMA - Day 2 Death March

Added another four miles of walking the floor at DEMA today. This was my last day here, so I had a long list of things to do and people to see. I just want to say thanks to Starbucks for keeping me moving the whole time. The big stuff I needed to get done was order a lot of the small items that people want at the holiday time. I ordered some great new flashlights from UK including the Aquasun which is a twin LED light that produces over 800 lumens which is twice as much as the enhanced LEDs we have now. Got some hair ties and scuba tube socks as well.

We are making a transition int he open water classes to start teaching with the new eRDPml - if you haven't heard of this, it is a calculator that replaces the RDP table and should make it easier on students.

Here are a couple of interesting pictures form the show. These pictures are great gift ideas for the diver that has everything. The first is the chain mail shark suit complete with 70's silver motorcycle helmet. The second is a backpack portable recompression chamber (since it is $30k, you may want to save that for someone really special. And third is a glow in the dark tank. Funny thing is that the glow int he dark coating process is actually very difficult on tanks and it adds about $100 to the cost of a tank.
