Dirty Dozen Does ADEX 🥳
Dear Dirty Dozen Team Member,
We hope this email as always finds you well.
This week we want to bring you up to speed with the happenings at ADEX last weekend and share a surprise announcement that came in an hour ago!
Let’s get right to it!
DIRTY DOZEN DOES ADEX - SINGAPORE EDITION
We were really proud to speak at the prestigious ADEX TekDive Conference last weekend, at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Singapore.
Aron presented on 2 topics. The first presentation was about the discovery of the wreck USCGC Alexander Hamilton and about what happened in the 11 years since Aron and his team found it at 300ft depth, 30 miles off the shores of Iceland, with 26 souls still in their final resting place.
He held this presentation together with Expedition member Chris Haslam.
The second presentation was a Dirty Dozen classic that revolved around Truk Lagoon Vs. Bikini Atoll, where Aron broke down some of the most infamous ghost wreck fleets on the planet and explained their similarities and differences.
You can watch the presentation recorded here:
The ADEX Tek Talk included many prominent speakers and several #teamdd members including Mark Powell and Richie Kohler. The dive industry is a very tight family of incredibly charismatic people.
It was a bittersweet moment at the speakers dinner. David Strike - our fearless leader and organizer of the Tek Talks for ADEX made this show his last, after serving as its organizer since 1995.
Here he is after receiving a signed gift from the speakers. He will be sorely missed!
ARON IS SPEAKING AT DEMA 2022!
The Technical Diving Resource Center at DEMA SHOW literally just emailed us that our presentations have been approved for this years DEMA SHOW.
If you wanted to see one of the presentations LIVE at ADEX, you now have another chance at the DEMA SHOW in Orlando this coming November.
More details to follow soon!
