Slide Shows

This page is under construction. Check back soon for updates.

We have several digital projector slide shows which we can present to dive clubs or conventions. We'll travel a reasonable distance at our expense. If it is too far you may have to pay for a hotel room or airfare or such. If we drive we can probably provide all the equipment. All of our earlier muti-projector 35mm slide shows have been converted to digital shows.

Most of these shows run themselves. There is synchronized music, and we don't have to say or do anything during the show. Unless otherwise stated, they run about 22 or 23 minutes. Some of the programs are narrated live.

Follow the links for more information and pictures.
