Alright CCR divers, divettes and wannabees, the first report from DEMA goes like this:
Just looked at the room at the Rosen Centre 9840 International Drive Orlando directly across from the entrance to the convention center and main entrance for DEMA lat lon is N28 25.563 W81 28.062 for all you nav geeks dd.mm.mmm. Grand ballroom D, enter the hotel main entrance, turn right and follow around to the meeting rooms, to the end on the left.
The room is plenty big, about 1/4 of what PADI is using, we have all kinds of snackies lined up and 2 cash bars. Party starts around 1815 or 6:15pm and the bartender packs up around 11pm, but the main bar is 150 feet away. Other things that are close are a nice restraunt, a market/deli and just outside the meeting room A BIG FREAKNG POOL! and...since it florida, its plenty warm for dip taking and dive gear testing. If you havent done so, please register and prepay for entry and a T shirt at
