NAUI Hits the Fast Lane In 2008

Tampa, Florida (December 21, 2007) - NAUI has hit the ground running with our latest and most aggressive marketing project. The buzz started with the exclusive unveiling of the new Team Scuba NASCAR racecar during the Industry Trade Show in Orlando last year. The driver, Ray Black, Jr. was there to sign autographs, take pictures and answer questions. This young man, at age 16, has had a spectacular career to date and we are excited to see what he will accomplish in the NASCAR Camping World Series in 2008.

The oft-asked question...What does SCUBA diving have to do with NASCAR? It is our shared vision to introduce the sport of diving to an entirely new market of 75 million loyal fans. NAUI is one of the anchor sponsors of Team SCUBA. We are excited about this revolutionary approach to reaching potential divers. We are always looking for ways to increase revenue for our stores and look forward to the positive results this marketing campaign will produce.
