DEMA 2024 (Diving Equipment & Marketing Association) hosted its annual show in Las Vegas this week, and the color is once again the trend. It was hard to look anywhere at the show without some bright orange catching your eye. Each year, DEMA, which is the largest trade event, brings together thousands of people with diving on their minds. From scuba diving organizations to those involved in ocean water sports and travel diving, this show is packed with excitement. Whether you are checking out new product launches, training seminars, or listening to guest speakers, there is never a dull moment at DEMA. Scuba.com teamed up with @azul.unlimited to cover the event, and you can see some of that video here. This article will dive into some of the new products announced at DEMA 2024, some of which are ready to order here at scuba.com
