Divesoft Demo Days in the USA: gain a deeper understanding of rebreathers
Following the success of last year’s Demo Days, the Divesoft crew is planning another exciting event for divers to get in the water and demo rebreathers and other diving gadgets once again. Reserve the weekends of May 8th-9th in Cypress, California, and May 15th-16th in Redondo Beach, Washington and get ready for an incredible experience with fellow diving enthusiasts. The rebreather dives are free and there’s no need to book them in advance. Just head out West and dive on in!
DEMO Program
DEMO Days features two weekends of diving at two great locations. The first event will take place from May 8th-9th at Beach Cities SCUBA’s indoor pool in Cypress, California. Beach Cities Scuba is a well-established California diving brand so you can anticipate exceptional facilities and have the opportunity to check out promotional items and equipment too. Find out more about this event online.
The second DEMO Days event will be held from May 15th-16th in Redondo Beach, Washington with Eight Diving, a community-focused shop that supports the local diving and technical diving community. The site is perfect for divers of all skill levels to explore. The shallow line along the beach offers divers the chance to see an array of sea creatures such as the Giant Pacific Octopus, ratfish, sea stars, and more. Visit the event’s Facebook page to learn more and express interest in the event.
Both DEMO weekends take place on Saturday and Sunday from 9 am – 5 pm with a lunch break.
Attendees will also have the unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the engineering and technology behind Divesoft products, as introduced in a video by Joseph Jonathan Bosquez. Divers of various skill levels (an advanced diver certification with a minimum 50 dives is required) and backgrounds can get hands-on experience with the CCR Liberty, and test out various configurations including backmount and sidemount as well as the light and heavy versions. Expect to get up close and personal with everything from analyzers to computers to rebreathers and more.
Equipment which can be tried:
Safety first
Just like last year, the Divesoft team will be following all proper guidelines to ensure the safety of all participants. Divesoft will have four complete units on hand which will allow them to clean and disinfect each unit after every dive using special Divesoft disinfection containing agents proven to kill Covid-19. Safety is Divesoft’s number one priority and as such, they will take all necessary precautions to avoid the risk of spreading infection and disease.
Divesoft DEMO Days are just around the corner so be sure to mark your calendars and plan your trip to the beautiful West Coast USA. With a stellar program and line-up planned, every diver can be sure to come away with something new whether that’s new equipment, improved skills, or awesome memories to last a lifetime. If you’re a diving enthusiast, you won’t want to miss out. Also, keep an eye out for new content from Divesoft as they will be vlogging and photographing both events.

Introducing the RS Series Drysuit from DYNAMICNORD
Cozy and warm in cold water.
It’s drysuit season all year round. With the new RS series premium drysuits from DYNAMICNORD, divers are perfectly equipped for all cold waters.
The sophisticated cut of the RS drysuits allows complete freedom of movement, providing maximum comfort. The high-quality 350 g/m² ripstop material with double ripstop zones on the elbows, knees, and crotch protect ensures extreme robustness as well as long life.
The suit’s features leave nothing to be desired: A high-quality TiZip zipper, easily adjustable inlet and outlet valves, upgradeable with electrically heated underwear, HP bottleneck cuffs made of high-strength latex on the wrists, a 3mm neoprene neck cuff for maximum comfort, a 7mm hood with air outlet and 3mm boots made of double-sided, cross-layered neoprene with ankle straps and fin strap stoppers and a protective but very flexible sole.
Noteworthy is the Molle fastening system, which can be used in a variable and compatible manner. This way, the two detachable leg pockets can be attached easily, safely and comfortably.
Alterations of boots to a different shoe size or adjustments to neck or wrist cuffs are done free of charge at the own DYNAMICNORD service centre in Germany in only a couple of days.
The matching Dynaskins made with high-quality Polartec® technology are available in various designs. As an undersuit under the drysuit, as a single suit in warm waters or as a two-piece suit. Polartec® technology’s main features are neutral buoyancy, breathablilty and quick-drying.
