Dear Dirty Dozen Team Member,
As always we hope you have had a great and dirty week.
Today we had to upgrade our subscription to the email provider we use because so many of you have signed up, and second because we reached a new level of subscribers. Thanks for everyone signing up! Now, lets get onto the highlights of this week.
DD KNOWLEDGE BASE BETA - Spreading Love: the DD Way
As we love sharing information with you all, we made a new resource for you to explore. Study up on the blueprints of the wrecks we dive in Truk and Bikini, get geeky with academic papers, and watch hard-to-find documentaries in our new Knowledge Base.
This is a password only page for our members and will be sent out in this weeks newsletter.
This knowledge base will be updated regularly and we are heavily updating it over the weekend, so make sure you drop in every now and again before your trip.
For those people keen to enter the Knowledge Base and who are not on this mailing list, subscribe now - drop us a inquiry at the bottom of the page asking for the password in the comments section.

Aron was in the hot seat last night at Divesoft.TV getting grilled by Jakub on all things Truk, Bikini, and Chernobyl on Divetalks Extra. This informal chat was accompanied by a few drinks and lots of laughs.

DIRTY DOZEN FEATURED ON EXPLORERS CLUB SOCIAL
This week DD had a feature on the revered Explorers Club page. As a company, we go on quite a bit about the Explorers Club and often mention some of our Special Guests are members. Since its inception in 1904, the Club has served as a meeting point and unifying force for explorers and scientists worldwide.

The Clubâs members have been responsible for an illustrious series of famous firsts: First to the North Pole, first to the South Pole, first to the summit of Mount Everest, first to the deepest point in the ocean, first to the surface of the moonâall accomplished by their members.
Our Aron is a proud member too and between this video and photo below - you can see their annual dinner in New York where all the club members meet for a weekend in the clubhouse, finishing off with a huge Gala dinner. Last year ECAD was celebrating 50 years since humans stepped on the moon, with Buzz Aldrin and seven other NASA astronauts in attendance.
Check out more about the club here, and if you fancy yourself as a member and think you have what it takes⊠drop Aron a line to ask him for a guidance and sponsorship.

DD ARROW PROTOYPES ARE COMING TO LIFE
Remember when we said we got ourselves a 3D printer? We actually managed to break the poor thing while putting abrasive metal and wood infused materials amongst others. It got very Dirty so to speak and is under upgrade/maintenance as we write this very newsletter.
On top of that, we have hired a 3D Graphic designer to create the whole furniture set of DD accessories which will be presented to you on the trips. First off, we started with making a unique arrow design. This is a very early draft, but expect something to come up soon in our upcoming newsletters! Never a dull day at the office.

Well, thatâs about it from us guys this week. We hope you got some great plans coming up this weekend but donât forget, if you are feeling lonely, then we are here to chat Dirty.
Love,
Aron ArngrĂmsson and the DDE Team
