SUPERMODEL FREDERIQUE LEADS INTERNATIONAL EFFORT TO BREAK
WORLD RECORD FOR LARGEST GROUP DIVE

Details To Be Announced During Live Underwater Press Event May 18
At SeaWorld's Discovery Cove

SAN DIEGO --- Supermodel Frederique van der Wal has been named the official ambassador for the 3rd Annual International Dive-In Day on May 20, 2001, an attempt to break the world record for the largest group dive.   International Dive-In Day brings together the entire diving industry and divers worldwide.   Frederique will lead this world record-breaking attempt and begin the historic dive at 11 a.m. E.S.T. from the beach at the Ocean Fest consumer dive show being held in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida.   Thousands of other divers in hundreds of cities around the world will simultaneously enter their local oceans, rivers and lakes.   In addition to diving, many of the Dive-In events being held throughout the world will include organized community clean-up efforts of the oceans and surrounding areas.

To announce the event's details, Frederique will host an underwater press event on May 18, 2001 at Discovery Cove in Orlando, FL.   The press conference is being sponsored by Discovery Cove, The National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI) and Supermodel.com.   There will be live underwater satellite interviews with Frederique in a colorful coral reef surrounded by giant stingrays, exotic fish and even sharks.   Frederique will also be announcing her "Dive With a Supermodel" contest giving divers from around the world the opportunity to register on Supermodel.com to win the chance to be her personal SCUBA 'buddy' during the historic Dive-In.   Frederique will be discussing the contest, her role at Dive-In, and her past experiences swimming with dolphins and marine animals at Discovery Cove.   Live and recorded satellite feeds are available.

According to Regina Franklin, executive director of The Diving Equipment and Marketing Association (DEMA), "The diving industry has experienced great growth over the past few years.   It's a true testament that scuba diving is now one of the hottest adventure sports for young men and women who crave the excitement of underwater exploration.   Divers today are sexy, confident, smart and full of adventure."

International Dive-In Day is sponsored in part by the HammerHeads, an international network of divers, DEMA, OceanFest, Eastman Kodak and Sea & Sea Underwater Photography.
