Unlike previous editions that were released in October at the DEMA Show, the 2009 edition of the Diving Almanac will be published in January 2009 for a number of reasons.

Most importantly, the new publication date will enable us to exhibit at more consumer shows and events in the winter, spring and summer. There are also editorial reasons to print in January such as having the Diving Chronicle (Year in Review) go from January to December instead of September to August.

We will be at the DEMA Show 2008 in Las Vegas (Booth # 4125) with a limited number of copies of the 2008 edition, and to promote the 2009 edition. We will also be awarding record certificates to record holders attending DEMA.

Deadlines have been adjusted for the new release date:

Editorial Deadline: November 1, 2008

Ad Copy Deadline: November 28, 2008
