Cayman Islands Scuba Bowl X - October 27-29, 2008

(May 28, 2008 - CIDOT) -- The Cayman Islands Tourism Association (CITA) invites all retail dive shop owners and managers to apply to attend SCUBABOWL X to be held in Grand Cayman immediately following the DEMA Trade Show in Las Vegas. The travel date is Sunday, October 26 and the three day event runs from Oct. 27 to 29. Participants can return home on October 30^th or sign up for many of the post event packages offered in the Cayman Islands.

The SCUBABOWL formula has been perfected over the past 10 years according to Chairman, Ron Kipp. We meet and greet you at the airport and transport you to one of the eleven hotels or Condo’s participating in the program. Every morning you are transported to the Westin Casuarina Resort and Spa, right on Seven Mile Beach, where a Continental Breakfast awaits. The mornings are devoted to Seminars. This year’s speakers include Shomari Scott, Department of Tourism, Tom Ingram, DEMA, John Wrightington, Cayman Airways, Carol Haugen, Desert Divers of Las Vegas and Mr. Bob Soto, the founder of resort SCUBA diving in the Cayman Islands in 1957.

“This is an incredible opportunity for dive travel professionals to see what the Cayman Islands offers dive travelers. There is a limited number of spots, so we encourage interested retailers to contact us as soon as possible to avoid being left out!,” said Ron Kipp, one of the organizers of the event.

The total cost of the entire trip, including roundtrip airfare from any Cayman Airways gateway in only $278. Kipp is proud to explain that this is the very same price that was charged for SCUBABOWL 1 held in 1981. Kipp hopes to debunk the myth that Cayman is too expensive. He claims that Cayman is not a cheap destination but is only as expensive as you choose. He also wants everyone to see above and below water how Cayman has survived and rebuilt since Hurricane Ivan in 2004.

The event is limited to 100 participants with a maximum of 2 per shop. Preference will be given to owners and managers who have a serious determination to build or expand their dive travel programs.
