DUI Dog Days 2010 @ Mermet Springs --- September 25 & 26

DUI and Mermet Springs are excited to announce this year's DUI Dog Rally and Demo Tour.  This is a unique opportunity to try DUI dry-suits.  Divewear insulation, Buoyancy Control Systems and Weight & Trim Systems.

You don't need to be drysuit certified to test drive DUI drysuits!

Most everything you'll need to konw about the event is below!

We want to thank you for your interest in DOG Rally & Demo Tour. We've put together an incredible program designed to give first time drysuit divers a comfortable, safe, fun diving experience. This event also offers experienced drysuits divers, DOGs and their family a chance to test dive new DUI equipment, talk with key industry divers, and just hang out and enjoy diving.

Prior to the Event

Prior to the demo, each diver will be fitted with the appropriate DUI drysuit and accessory equipment.   Once you are dressed and rady to dive, you will check in with the Beachmaster in charge who will assign you an instructor or divemaster as a guide.  As soon as there are 2-3 people ready to go in the water, and experienced divemaster or instructor will escort you on your dive.  You can do as many test dives as you wish (time permitting).  Divers that are alrady drysuit certified are welcome to plan their own dives accordingly, within the limits of their current experience.  With more than 110 suits of various sizes there usually is little wait.  If you'd like to test dive a specific model of suit, please let the staff know so that they can do their best to make one available for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if you've never dived a drysuit?

This is the event for you. You will be helped with the equipment selection and sizing process by trained professionals and then will be guided on your dives by experienced drysuit divers. Comfort and safety is the main goal.

Do I still have to go with a guide if I am already drysuit certified?

No, you are welcome to dive with your own buddy while trying the cameras, drysuits and BCs. Remember to dive within the limits of your training and experience.

Should I bring my Certification Card?

Yes.  You must have your SCUBA certification card.  Also please print and fill-out our Rental & Liability Release Form.  Please DO NOT fill out the sizing portion.  This will be filled while being fitted for your DUI equipment.

Can I buy DUI equipment at the event?

No, these events are not designed as a sales event. The dealers and DUI work together to provide you with a fun and safe diving experience- without any sales pressure. We will give you a list of participating dealers so you may visit one near you after the event.

Can I get measured at a DOG Rally?

Yes.  Come on out and get fitted for your DUI drysuit at any DOG Rally & Demo Tour.

What if the weather is bad?

Rain or shine these events go on as planned. We've had some incredible weather and some incredibly bad weather. But hey we're in drysuits right.

What about lunch?

All Rally Events have a BBQ lunch which is included in the price of your DOG Rally & Demo Tour ticket.  Lunch is served from 11 AM to 2 PM.  Sorry but the grill is not available after these times.  We always have plenty of food, please schedule some time for lunch.

What about my family?

Don’t want to tell your family you are off diving again this weekend? This is a diving event for the whole family so bring them along. Most of the locations have plenty of things for the kids to do and everyone will enjoy the barbecue lunch. You can purchase additional tickets for lunch and the Saturday evening dinner for your non-diving family and friends. Children under 6 eat free.

Do I need to have my own equipment?

You will need to provide your own tanks, regulator, weights, mask, snorkel.  Many of the locations have equipment rental onsite so call ahead and reserve any needed equipment. DUI will install a drysuit inflation hose onto your regulator and will loan you the drysuit, insulation, Weight & Trim System and BC as needed.

I'm afraid my fins are too small for drysuit boots?

We have a limited selection of fins with large foot pockets. These are available for use by divers at the event.

Do I need a bathing suit?

You will want to wear a bathing suit under the drysuit and insulation as regular clothing can bunch up and be uncomfortable.

Where do I buy tickets?

You can purchase advance tickets on the DUI website or visit a participating DUI Dealer.

Hey do you need any volunteers?

The answer to this one is YES. These events take a lot of community support. We are looking for experienced DUI drysuit instructors, dive masters, divers and others. Can you flip burgers? We've got a job for you. To volunteer please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

A Risk Management Program for Public Safety Dive Teams will also be available.
