Oceanfest 2005 is April 15 – 17 in Ft. Lauderdale. If you’re interested in equipment, destinations, or accessories, and you live in South Florida, this is the place to be. Over 200 exhibitors from all areas of diving and related industries will be present. In addition to the dive exhibits, there will be vendors featuring Bahamian and Caribbean style food, live music, and free seminars discussing everything from sea turtle conservation, to visiting Grenada, to “What the Traveling Diver Should Know,” a talk given by a DAN spokesperson. Admission is $7 per day, or $16 for a 3-day pass. I’ll buy conch fritters for the first person who finds me and shouts “Divester Rules!”
