X-ray Magazine will also be at ADEX this week
- come see us in
Booth A23
You're invited to participate in the Asia Dive Expo 2010, taking place 9-11 April in Singapore.
Now run by the team at Asian Diver magazine, ADEX 2010 will be truly "by divers, for divers".
ADEX is the region's longest-running annual dive show and it turns "sweet 16" in 2010.
Exhibitors from 20+ countries representing the whole spectrum of the dive industry (equipment manufacturers
and retailers, tourist boards and travel agents, dive centers, resorts and liveaboards, marine conservation groups) and 10,000+ visitors are expected during the 3 day event.
ADEX 2010 will feature 100+ exhibition booths, presentations from inspiring dive professionals and industry leaders, fascinating underwater videos, marine-themed photography and art displays, the inaugural best-in-class awards, a kid's
interactive zone, a live art creation with auction, plus competition awards and prize-giving ceremonies.
To share their experiences and expertise, diving A-listers will be at the show, including living legend Stan Waterman
who, at age 87, still dives and produces: this scuba diving pioneer had his work featured on the Discovery Channel in
an hour special entitled "The Man Who Loves Sharks". He is a photographer, filmmaker, lecturer, author, producer
and documentarian. Still photographer and ardent conservationist John "Chip" Scarlett will see the international debut
of his book "Loving Sharks" at the show with an exclusive interactive preview happening on Thursday 8 April at the National Geographic Store at Singapore's Vivocity shopping center. Bringing his artistic vision to the show, Todd Essick will discuss his work capturing interactions between models and marine wildlife. A guest photographer on Germany's Next Top Model, Essick's first photographic project is the award-winning Goddesses, Sirens and Mermaids.
For our first year we're celebrating and supporting SHARKS, dedicating a large part of the agenda to these majestic but threatened species. Presentation topics on the main stage will focus on both the excitement of diving with sharks and the
urgent need for shark conservation, especially as it relates to the inhumane practice of shark fining.
Visit ADEX in April to add your voice to the growing movement of individuals, divers and non-divers alike, who want to
change the way people view sharks. Join us to show support for the plight of sharks, find out how you can personally contribute to the cause and leave the expo inspired by examples of worldwide projects that are making a difference to shark conservation!
