DUI Demo Day

ByNatanya Levine

I went to the DUI Demo day at Stage Fort Park on May 10th.  It was a day I’ll never forget.

I got to test out my new DUI drysuit.  I went diving with Vin Malkowski.  We did some mask clears, air sharing, reg retrievals, and I got the feel of my new drysuit.

I talked with Dick Long (the founder of DUI) between my dives.  I warmed up my hands in electric gloves and he explained DUI’s heated undergarments.  It was so warm.

After lunch, I got back in the water with Vin and did a second dive.  Stage Fort Park is a very sandy site, but there I saw a lot of crabs, and the water temperature wasn’t that bad, especially in a drysuit!

  • The Saganaga

    ByJake Stout

      The next wreck we did was the Saganaga. The Saganaga is known for having lots of lumpfish. Most people either think the lumpfish is really ugly or really cute. Personally I believe it depends on the lumpfish. But hey that’s just me. I’ve always wanted to see a lumpfish, and on one dive I…
