Just thought I would post a short message about the GUE Conference that was just held this past weekend in Gainesville, FL.
It encompassed conversations about equipment, decompression & theory and numerous other items. Was great to meet people like JJ & George and others from all over the world.
It felt like a usual group of divers getting together and just talking about diving, very comfortable to ask questions whether in a group or one on one. 3 of us from Rochester attended the meeting after doing a week long cave diving around the area.
We also took a private tour of Halcyon manufacturing and it was very impressive, as I work for a manufacture I could see the quality controls and level of professionalism they strive for every day and knowing we took a tour that wasn't scheduled showed that they weren't putting up the dressing for us.
The conference was 3 days long so if you want more details you can just ask, don't feel like trying to write everything down at this time .
