Try Drysuit Diving with DUI Demo Days Oct. 4-5
One of the most popular annual events returns to Mermet Springs this fall:
DUI Drysuit Demo Days!!!!
Join us on Saturday, October 4th and/or Sunday, October 5th and try out as many different DUI Drysuits as you want! No drysuit experience is necessary - DUI provides fitting, instruction, and a guide for your dives (if you wish). There simply isn’t a better way to try drysuit diving! If you buy a drysuit from DUI through New Horizons within 6 weeks after the event, you will receive upgrades worth $220 to $240 on a stock or select suit.
The event is taking place at Mermet Springs, located just outside of Metropolis, Illinois. Mermet is a large freshwater quarry that boasts a wide range of depths, lots to see underwater (including a Boeing 727 airplane), and very good water clarity. It’s about a four hour drive from Lexington, and you can camp at Mermet or there are inexpensive hotels nearby.
Admission to Mermet Springs is $20 per diver, $5 per non-diver, and $5 to camp overnight.
Tickets to the DUI Demo Days event are $8 in advance (purchase at New Horizons). Lunch is included on both days with your DUI ticket, and you also receive a DUI hat.
