Dema 2007

[owlbill]

We will once again this year be attending the DEMA show Oct 31 to Nov 3 in Orlando. We will be closing Tuesday October 30th, and will re-open Tuesday November 6th for our winter hours. If you have questions for manufacturers or would like us to look into new product lines, please forward your questions to me here via email (info@burtonsdive.com).

Ok, finally back from DEMA. Not a whole lot to report unfortunately.

We will be finally (long overdue) getting some Mares presence back into our shop. They have always had some nice cold water regs at decent prices, now some nice travelling BCs and of course, some of the better masks and fins on the market.

There have been some price increases as expected, very few decreases even with the dollar as it is. Bare has increased much of it's pricing, however, this only brings them more in line with other comparable brands of wetsuit and drysuit. Bare is now though, offering an unconditional lifetime warranty on their drysuit manufacturing.

TUSA didn't have much new to offer this year, but there were some "coming soon" products including some nice looking back inflation BCs to add to their line.

Scubapro did not attend the DEMA show, but there are new products on the way like the G250V, a new bottom timer, the Galileo computer.

Fourth Element was unveilling their new SubZero drysuit undergarment, which is a step up from the Xerotherm Arctic in insulation value. There have been a few price changes in the line, but very few and very minor.

I tried my best to check with all the brands that were there that we normally deal with so if anyone has any questions, please feel free to PM me.

As for "what's new at Burton's"..... we might look into bringing in ScubaHides (http://www.scubahides.com/) and possibly Atomic Aquatics (http://atomicaquatics.com/)

What's the story on the SubZero? I've found the Xerotherm just amazing, even with the limited cold water use I've made of it.
