This on-demand webinar will provide an overview of the program in less than 30 minutes! Let DEMA help you navigate this crucial program! 
Infinite Scuba, an online underwater video game, will provide DEMA affiliates with codes that you can then offer to your customers who aren't able to access dive sites and the underwater world during the pandemic. Request your codes today and start sharing!
The deadline to submit online nominations for the prestigious Reaching Out Award has been extended to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday, June 30, 2020.
