DURHAM, NC – As summer winds down this weekend, so does the PDE Extravaganza 2009. Labor Day marks the last day to complete dives eligible for submission to the Extravaganza.
At the end of September, for every 10 or more dive profiles submitted, divers receive a specially designed T-shirt and one automatic entry into a drawing for a DAN gift certificate worth $250 (Some redemption restrictions apply). Divers receive additional entries for every additional five dives submitted; there’s no limit to the number of entries one can earn. DAN will announce the winners at the end of October.
While the dives themselves needed to be completed between May 27 and Sept. 7, 2009 to qualify as Extravaganza dives, profiles can be submitted through Sept. 30.
Participation is easy. If you’re not already registered:
- Visit the DAN website, click on the PDE Extravaganza button on the homepage, and follow the instructions.
- Complete the Diver ID form to be entered into the PDE database and receive a Diver ID code.
- Go diving, have fun and save your dives electronically using the computer manufacturer’s software.
- Enter your DAN Diver ID in place of the name and export the dives to DAN.
- If you are using a non-compatible computer, please contact DAN Research at research@dan.duke.edu for more information.
All profiles submitted to the Extravaganza will be used by DAN Research for Project Dive Exploration, the most extensive study of recreational diving ever conducted. DAN hopes the PDE Extravaganza 2009 will generate 10,000 profiles.
If you’re celebrating the holiday weekend underwater, please share your profiles as part of the Extravaganza. For additional information on PDE Extravaganza 2009, visit http://www.DiversAlertNetwork.org or call (800) 446-2671.
DAN Is Here For You.
