Join us at Pacific Marine Expo!


Pacific Marine Expo 2019 is in Seattle, Washington at CenturyLink Field Event Center, November 21-23 and we'll be there. Be sure to stop by booth 4118 and say "Hi" to Jerry, Ashley, and Rob!

Consider yourself invited to attend AMSEA's presentation 11:00 AM to noon on Friday, November 22. We'll be presenting on "Survival Equipment Maintenance & Tips." Instead of the usual talking expert and Powerpoint presentation, we will conduct small group presentations and hands-on skills practice at three stations.

At the Immersion Suit Station, participants will practice donning immersion suits quickly and learn how to care for their suits. The CPR/AED Station will give participants practice performing chest compressions and using an Automatic Electronic Defibrillator on a practice dummy. At the Distress Signal Station, participants will practice making effective MAYDAY calls and utilizing and maintaining and EPIRB.

Everyone who participates will be eligible to enter a drawing for some great safety and survival gear. Prizes include a Garmin InReach satellite communication device, Regatta flotation oilskins, a variety of Kent personal flotation devices, and an immersion suit. Thank you to Garmin International, Kent Safety Products, LFS Inc., and Work Wear Inc. for generously donating prizes for the drawing.

We're always happy to see old friends and make new ones at Pacific Marine Expo. We look forward to seeing you there!
