I hadn't been to the show for several years. One of the factors of scuba that I have the least amount of interest in is dive travel. I feel fortunate to have some of the best diving in the world here in my backyard. The last time I went to the Scuba Show, it seemed to be more of less a travel trade show. This year I decided to go again, mainly to visit with people I don't get to see often enough. There was a lot to offer as far as gear, training, cameras as well as travel. I ran into several people I know, some new friends, some old. All in all, I had a good time. I hung out at the California Wreck Divers Booth, Deep Sea Supply and DiveIn TV mainly.
Bob and Debbie Titus have a scuba production company, DiveIn TV Bob Titus Debbie Titus in the background, with Elaine Jobin in the foreground. Elaine usually captures me blinking or squinting, so this is paybacks. :-) Elaine discusses Photoshop with Jeff Shaw. Jeff and Sue Shaw were working at the Cabrillo Aquarium booth. Here's Sue signing autographs. Among the exhibits at the CWD boots were Kevin Rottner's latest find and a porthole from the Olympic II
and were taping divers talking about their dive experiences.
