The four page story is featured in Issue 3, April 2010, [...]]]> MDE’s Mark Humphreys pens an article for Airgun Sport

The editor of Airgun Sport asked Midland Diving, the experts in high pressure air and Airgun Charging equipment, for a writeup on the kit available, how to use it and the rules that apply to our industry.

The four page story is featured in Issue 3, April 2010, covering topics such as safe filling practise, the often-confusing 5-year test, and advice on how not to clean your overalls!

The article was penned by our own Mark Humphreys, Technical Sales Manager at MDE, drawing on his three years’ experience of dealing with daily technical enquiries and occasional comical questions about the strange things airgunners try to do with their PCP kit!

This is an exciting partnership between two companies with a proud history in the scuba diving market. Founded by George Beuchat in the 30s, Beuchat has been involved in all aspects of underwater activities for over 75 years. Distributed around the world into 80 countries, Beuchat is recognised worldwide as a market leader in the fields of scuba diving and spearfishing.

As Midland Diving enters its 52nd year, we will also continue to distribute our own range of diving valves, gun charging and filtration products alongside Beuchat, including some MDE-branded products previously distributed by Aqua Lung UK.

It has been a great week making new industry contacts and seeing their interest in MDE and our products. Our low-profile, high quality diving valve range proved a hit with visitors, particularly those specialising in cave diving. We can also announce that one of DEMA’s ‘must-have’ products, the Vindicator valve handle, is now a Midland Diving exclusive in the UK! We will have more news on this soon.

Feedback from the show was very positive – it was great to exhibit at DEMA and people were glad to see us there too. Thanks to everyone who stopped by.

…And we even had time to check out Universal Citywalk before catching our flight home on Sunday!

DEMA was yet to open its doors but we were already chatting with other exhibitors making enquiries at our stand. It was great to meet distributors [...]]]> It was a beautiful morning as we arrived at the convention centre to be greeted by two live bands, before once again getting the booth ready for the day ahead.

DEMA was yet to open its doors but we were already chatting with other exhibitors making enquiries at our stand. It was great to meet distributors and some more of our UK business partners.

Day Two was very busy, one stand attacting visitors with live music and another with beer and rum – it certainly seemed to work!

The DEMA highlight of the day was a simulated shipwreck sinking into the show pool, but we also had great fun meeting people, giving out brochures and gifts, and chatting about Robin Hood!

Early contact was made with [...]]]> We arrived early at the convention centre to complete the final touches to the MDE booth, and found a band playing in the entrance hall. With the inaccessible power sorted, air con on, and our brochures and gifts at the ready, we prepared for opening day of the DEMA Show 2009.

Early contact was made with both Diver magazine and Sport Diver, interested in featuring Midland Diving in their upcoming DEMA articles.

It was a busy first day, meeting lots of people with many enquiries for MDE products – from distributors looking for diving valves and equipment, to interest in our compressor valves, filtration and accessories, and even some people looking to purchase our moulded cylinder tops for retail displays!

Feedback was very positive, our visitors commenting they hadn’t had much luck in their search for quality valves until they found MDE.

Thanks to all those who came to see us on day one, from distributors to people simply wanting to play, and even some of our UK dealers like Galaxsea Divers!

We arrived at the Orange County Convention Centre in the morning, and found our booth really standing out from the crowd. Roger Ellis’ backboard artwork and design look amazing – a real eye-catcher.

We began setting up – unpacking the boxes of cylinder valves, bands, airgun charging kit and our moulded cylinder tops for modelling it all.

Teething problems such as the out-of-place banner were quickly fixed, furniture was moved into place, and we began the valve display, getting them just where we wanted them.

After a break for lunch and stopping to solve the problem of a completely inaccessible power supply, we spent a while looking around other exhibits, meeting companies and talking to some interested people.

The build took approximately 5 hours – time well spent making us ready for four days’ successful exhibiting… Let’s just hope that tomorrow they remember to switch the air con on!
