2010 ... dedicated to Sharks

For our first year running ADEX, we’re celebrating and supporting SHARKS, dedicating a large part of the agenda to these majestic but threatened species.

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.

We are planning a number of activities around our shark theme, from expert presentations to interactive anti-shark fin soup features. 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.

So join us at ADEX to show your concern, find out how you can personally contribute to the cause and leave the expo inspired by examples of worldwide shark projects that are making a difference!
