PAST EVENTS-SUB 99 Home
The Sub 99 Diving Show was held for the second time in Geneva between the 5th and the 7th of February.
Where present, manufacturers, distributors and shops, travel agents and of course many clubs and diving schools. The teki's, numerous in Switzerland, where not left a side. A new blending tool was presented at the stall Bubble or not Bubble/Ocean Zone Divers. It allows the blender to use standard compressor and tanks, with no specific oxygen cleaning.
The stick allows to blend Nitrox into normal tanks ...

The visitors where for a vast majority divers. Mainly Swiss, but also French and a few Italians. Swiss divers are in general very good divers, the conditions of diving are particularly difficult in the lake's; the water is cold and the visibility is poor. Their abilities provided very interesting exchanges with the exhibitor.

The Geneva University presented a few items brought back up from the Leman Lake. But the attraction was the opportunity for children to discover Scuba Diving in a pool equipped with portholes. As for the adults, wine was provided by "La Fédération Suisse de Sports Sous marins" (FSSS), very active with 12000 members. The conviviality was also part of the show during the opening cocktail. This successful party gathered exhibitors and visitors round a sumptuous buffet given by the organisers. The show was a success, exhibitors and the public made a date for next year.
