Drive & Dive the Florida Keys Contest Offers DEMA Attendees Chance to Win Vacation and ScubaPro Equipment

Industry professionals who visit the Florida Keys & Key West DEMA pavilion (#1166-1175) can register to win a week-long, dive trip to the Keys during the "Drive and Dive" contest to be held during the show. The prize for two includes dive charters in each Keys region, accommodations, a rental car to use for one week to travel the Florida Keys Overseas Highway and a full set of ScubaPro dive equipment.

Upon entering the pavilion, visitors should obtain a Keys treasure map from any participating exhibitor. After conversing with at least one exhibitor in each region, attendees officially enter the contest by bringing their map to the Keys tourism council stand, situated in the middle of the pavilion.

The "Drive and Dive" contest is being staged in conjunction with Scuba Diving Magazine.

Other incentives to visit the Keys pavilion include:

  • The first 500 DEMA attendees who register at the Keys pavilion for the contest are to receive a collector's lapel pin featuring Key West marine artist David Harrison Wright's (www.davidharrisonwright.com) interpretation of what the former U.S. Air Force missile-tracking ship Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg should look like after the 524-foot vessel is scuttled off Key West. That sinking is planned for spring 2008.

  • Underwater photographer Stephen Frink's signing sessions of his new 2008 Florida Keys pictorial calendar in the Keys pavilion at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 31, and Thursday, Nov. 1. Calendars are complimentary to DEMA badgeholders during the show.

  • A chance to win an archaeological treasure dive trip for two to the working Santa Margarita site during the 2008 salvage season with Blue Water Ventures (www.bluewaterventureskw.com) of Key West. The prize includes accommodations for three nights at the Doubletree Grand Key Resort (www.grandkeyresort.com) in Key West. Bluewater's officers and staff are to be on hand displaying artifacts and treasure found along the trail of the 1622 shipwreck. Each day, three signed books of Blue Water archaeologist Duncan Mathewson's "Treasure of the Atocha" are to be given away.
