The Diver's Market and Expo is coming up next Saturday, Oct 12th.

What, in your opinion, are good items to buy there? It's in large part conjecture, but you can base it on what you've bought in the past, what you've seen others buy, or even what you're expecting to get a deal on this year. Pick all that apply.

Feel free to discuss any smokin' deals you've gotten in the past below.

Hope to see you there, and wear your CHUM gear!

I got a great deal on my wetsuit last year - $50, brand new but the deal sealer was that it has zippers on the legs and sleeves. I also got my new BCD there last year as well as a new mesh bag. In the past I've bought lights, gloves, masks, a knife....just what I consider small, misc. stuff. As I mentioned in another thread, had I been better prepared, I could have bought a computer there. Some years are better than others, more vendors, more people, etc. but it's always fun for me to go to each table to see who's got what.

So my answer to the poll would be 'all of the above' :hw-biggrin (it's getting to be pumpkin time)
