Dolf and I represented Aliwal Dive Centre at the Dive Expo
this year. Neither of us had done this before and did not know what to expect.
Apparently this year the dive show was a lot smaller than it has been in its
previous years. The Dive Expo used to be part of or run in conjunction with the
National Boat Show, so the break away from the boat show could be negative or
positive. Obviously it could be negative because the show no longer has the
number of visitors that it used to have, or it could be positive because now
only the niche market comes to visit and all efforts are focused onto the right
people.
For me the show proved to be very beneficial. It was great
to meet people face to face to whom I had previously only spoken to via email or
telephone. It was also wonderful to see old faces and remind everyone that we
are still going strong. I picked up a new BC at an incredible price; a case of
in the right place at the right time (Thank you Hilary).
So to all of you who visited us at our stand, we hope to see
you here soon to redeem your vouchers!!
