Upcoming Dive Expos

March 29, 2010

There’s a couple of up-coming dive events in Southeast Asia that you may want to consider if you’re in the region:

ADEX – the Asian Diver Expo will be held in Singapore from April 9 to 11 at the Suntec Convention Center. I will be attending the show on Saturday 10 April from about noon until 4:00 pm, so if any dive operators or resorts would like to meet me to discuss coverage on SEA Undersea, please contact me to arrange an appointment.

TDEX – the Thailand Travel & Dive Expo will be held in Bangkok from May 20 to 23 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. Show hours are 11:00 to 21:00 daily. Note that 11:00 to 15:00 on the first day is "trade only." There are about 60 exhibitors lined up for what is billed as the most visited dive show in Asia.
