What happens at the Scuba Show in Long Beach?

Have you ever been to the Scuba Show? This is my 4th year attending the show and I love it! It is like going into the candy store and seeing all of your favorite flavors. I walk the aisles and remember great past scuba trips and make a list of where I want to go underwater next!

Have you always wanted to try scuba diving—you can try it out during the show!

There is a place to make art, buy dive gear, learn about diving history and find slipins! https://slipins.com/ These skins will keep you from sunburn or any incident with underwater stinging creatures.

I loved meeting Meg Donat from Women Divers Hall of Fame. Meg has been diving for more than 50 years!
