Making waves for diver safety

Friday, January 30, 2009

Attending the Blue Wild Ocean Adventure Seminar & Expo will not only make you a better diver, it'll make you a safer diver.

The event, which is Feb. 6-8 at the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum in Dania Beach, features a who's who of diving experts such as freediving instructor Kirk Krack, freediving world record holder Pipin Ferreras, spearfishing legend Art Pinder and shark wrangler Manny Puig.

In addition, Tom Greene, Capt. Bouncer Smith and Capt. Skip Smith will share their fishing secrets and there will be workshops on tying knots, catching lobsters, filleting fish, cooking seafood and underwater photography and videography. Steve Callahan, the author of Adrift, the best-selling book that detailed his 76 days lost at sea after his sailboat sank in the Atlantic Ocean, will discuss survival at sea.

Perhaps the most notable personalities at the Blue Wild are two divers who have survived the worst experience imaginable..[SunSentinel.com]
