FROM THE ORGANISER

THIS YEAR, we’re proud to be celebrating the 21st Asia Dive Expo (ADEX), the longest-running dive show in Asia.

As history would have it, ADEX and Asian Diver magazine started in tandem, but went their separate ways under different management. Asian Diver joined us in 2008, alongside our in-house publication, Scuba Diver AUSTRALASIA. The following year,

Asian Diver and ADEX reunited when we took over the reins. With all three premium brands under one roof – Scuba Diver AUSTRALASIA, Asian Diver and ADEX – we founded the underwater3some group in 2010. And so, ever since, underwater3some has been the inspiration and passion behind ADEX.

This has been a very special year for us already. Firstly, we’re no longer just underwater3some – we’ve changed our name to underwater360 to keep up with our growing number of media projects that continue to support and inform the dive industry. We’ve launched our brand new online platform, www.uw360.asia

(DIVERS’ DAILY DIGEST), redesigned SD OCEAN PLANET to make it more suited to the dive traveller, and created Scuba360 (Trade360) to bring together the key players in the industry.

From non-divers to seasoned divers, photographers to conservationists, operators to gear distributors, we support you all – everything we do is dedicated to the dive industry.
