Bonjour à tous

I agree a little with the “classic” and that's why this year I decided not to have a Blue Lagoon stand. I find that the Salon is Luxembourgish and the fact that it is “the” only diving event, everyone feels obliged to participate even if they are unhappy. And year after year, the team members (those who stay because this year CRESSI and MATES were not participating either) try to have stands that are bigger and bigger (it helps to fill the Hall) and more and more decorated. but unfortunately I did not find much new material. It is true that stands like PLONGIMAGE, PHOTO DENFERT, DIRTY DIVE, VIEUX PLONGEUR… .. are doing “business” but I don't think tour operators do. And, as long as this show does not open a little to the general public and does not become more festive (the stands where there were people and the animation was the stands that offered drinks) and less long (mobilization of 5 - 6 days is heavy) I think that the number of visitors will decrease and we will find ourselves with a hard noutau… .. We must also pay attention to the figures announced by the organization. It's a bit like “after demonstrating them and according to the police”. The fact of changing halls every year confuses us to compare. We had the impression that there were more people on Saturday than last year but beware the aisles were much narrower than in 2010….

Finally, I am convinced that the living room in its current form is slipping away and that's a shame.

Good bubbles to all
