Asian Diver - Issue 02 - 2020

In this issue

Embarking on a new decade, 2020 has presented many uncertainties and a multitude of challenges. For the 26th edition of Asia Dive Expo (ADEX), we were excited to return to the theme of a “Plastic-Free Ocean” for a second time to consider a range of new issues that have come to the fore since the marine plastic problem was first addressed at last year’s showr . The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has overshadowed everything, forcing us to postpone the ADEX 2020 show indefinitely.
