    In The Depth Dial mini comp, divers will declare their target depth and dive time the no later than the night before their attempt. The next day, it’s all about execution — no watches, no second guesses, no do-overs — just you, the line, and your call.

    The winner will be the diver who comes closest to their prediction.

    Think you can dial it in perfectly? Let’s see how well you know your limits!

    To learn more or sign up for the comp, visit the check in station at DEWE’s home base. You can sign up any time Thursday - Saturday when check in is open, but all depth and time announcements must be submitted before check in closes Saturday night. On Sunday morning, we’ll post a start time list at check in, where you will learn what time slot you are assigned to. We’ll cover all comp rules and guidelines Sunday morning before heading to the dive site.
