DUI DOG Rally and Demo Days — March 11 & 18
The DUI DOG Rally and Demo Days are your opportunity to try on and actually dive in the famous Diving Unlimited International dry suits, divewear insulation, BC’s, Weight & Trim Systems and more. This is an educational and informative event, and you will not be asked to purchase any equipment.
All participants will receive a free commemorative DUI Test Diver hat. Also included are “How To” seminars, a BBQ lunch and a raffle. Most events have a Saturday evening dinner with a special presentation. This event is also open to all DOGs (members of the DUI Owners Group) so you can show off your very own DUI equipment.
Admission is $5 in advance, $10 on site. To test dive equipment you must be a certified diver. You do not need to be dry suit certified. If you are not a certified diver, you are still welcome to attend. Family members are also welcome at all Rally events.
March 11 is the date for the San Diego event at the National Polytechnic College of Engineering & Oceaneering. The event will also be held on March 18 at the Long Beach campus of the National Polytechnic College of Engineering & Oceaneering.
