DEMA BE A DIVER TV AD CAMPAIGN TO LAUNCH MAY 5th

Strategically timed for the coming summer diving season, the Diving Equipment and Marketing Association will launch theBe A Diver national television advertising campaign on May 5, 2008. The campaign is aimed at helping the Diving Industry acquire new customers and re-activate previously-certified divers.



The 30-second television commercial was mainly filmed at Sunset House, off Sunset Divers boats and in the waters of the Cayman Islands. It was also filmed off Montauk, NY. The commercial will air nationwide for six weeks on the Travel Channel and will appear in two separate flights: May 5-25 and June 2-22. To reinforce the national reach with concentrated frequency, the commercial will also air throughout the summer and early fall in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C. and Texas. For these areas the commercial will air on the CNBC, MSNBC, Travel Channel and Golf Channel networks in four flights covering a five month period: May 5-June 1, June 9-29, July 7-20, September 1-14 and September 29-October 12.


The Be a Diver National Campaign was orchestrated by past Sunset House General Manager and current Director of Marketing, Keith Sahm. He currently serves as Vice President of the DEMA Board of Directors.

As a result of the commercial broadcast advertising buy, traffic to the Be A Diver website is expected to increase significantly. Once on the site, visitors will be encouraged to find a nearby dive center using the Professional Dive Center Locator and learn more about becoming a certified diver. The television commercial was also created to motivate non-active, previously-certified divers to get back into the sport by visiting their local dive center, getting involved in additional or refresher training, updating their equipment, and learning more about upcoming dive travel opportunities.

Thursday, February 28, 2008, 16:08

Every so often, the thatch roof on My Bar needs a bit of tender loving care; especially when it held up to the hurricane force winds of Hurricane Ivan. But during the storm, several "objects" flew through the roof and these holes were temporarily patched.


Now, large sections of the roof are being repaired properly to keep all dry underneath this Cayman treasure.
