FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 26, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. (OTCBB:BWMG), a leading developer, manufacturer and distributer of highly specialized dive and safety products, announced today that Ocean Enterprises("OE") of San Diego (http://www.oceanenterprises.com/ ) has agreed to become the first "full-line" stocking dealer of Brownie's unique dive systems in California. The strategic partnership arrangement will include Brownie's Third Lung and Yacht-Pro tank fill systems.
Robert Carmichael, Brownie's CEO commented "After years of tuning our product offerings to ideally suit the needs of family boaters and the yacht diving enthusiast, we are happy to begin replicating our South Florida results in one of the other prime yachting zones of the country. Adding our product and integration support resources to a very capable "scuba" store is a recipe for success. We believe most scuba stores rely on "student based" revenues, broadening the offering to include our yacht diving and Third Lung products will significantly increase the revenue efficiencies beyond the scope of traditional scuba sales. The high visibility and professionalism of Ocean Enterprises and Werner and Mrya Kurn is a great way to kick off the entry of Brownie's into Southern California and the new yachting season."
Founded in June 1979, OE is considered by many professionals in the dive industry to be one of the top 10 dive centers in the United States. For over 30 years, OE has offered Scuba Diving Classes, Travel and professional equipment sales and service. Ocean Enterprises is also a Professional Association of Diving ("PADI") Career Development Center fully licensed to train "PADI" dive instructors.
Mr. Carmichael further commented, "The Yacht-Pro scuba tank fill product line and the patent-pending VS battery powered dive units require key exposure points around the globe in order to realize full market potential."
Mr. Carmichael concluded, "We also recognize the power of familiarizing new dive professionals with our unique products. The dive instructor is often regarded as the single most influential factor in molding divers' buying habits. We realize most dive instructors have never been diving on a Brownie's Third Lung dive system and see this as an added opportunity with the OE partnership. We believe training dive instructors on the excellent attributes of the new VS battery-powered dive system will steadily build new market share for our brand, while filling the void between snorkeling and scuba diving."
