One of the worlds most respected female divers is teaming up with Analox Sensor Technology (AST) at DEMA 2013 to promote the importance of analyzing Technical Diving Gas.
Jill Heinerth, the pioneering underwater explorer and filmmaker, and inaugural member of the Women Divers Hall of Fame, will present Technical Diving Gas: What you dont know will hurt you at DEMA Show 2013 in Orlando, Florida.
Jills presentation will focus on the importance of analyzing gas, the dangers of breathing contaminated gas, and how and why divers should ensure that their gas is always safe to use. Jill said: All divers should understand why it is vitally important to analyze their diving gas. I have known too many people who have died as a result of either failing to analyze contents or breathing contaminated gas - accidents which could have been prevented by the simple action of analyzing gas before diving.
I was really pleased to be invited by Analox Sensor Technology to speak at DEMA 2013. I have used ASTs products for many years, and find them well thought out, easy to use, suitably robust and importantly very reliable. Put simply, we need to make sure all divers are aware that analyzing your gas is mandatory.
Patti Clarkson, Vice President Sales for Analox US, added: Were thrilled to have Jill Heinerth presenting, she is one of the most inspiring divers of our generation. As well as her wealth of experience, she has a passion about ensuring divers at every level take the appropriate precautions to guarantee their own safety. Were sure the DEMA audience will be very keen to hear Jill speak.
Jill Heinerth has been diving professionally for over 23 years. She has explored some of the worlds most remote underwater locations, and holds the record for the longest deep cave penetration by a woman. Her accolades include induction into the Explorers Club and the inaugural class of the Women Divers Hall of Fame. In November 2013, she will be awarded the first Sir Christopher Ondaatje Medal for Exploration by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. She is a diver, explorer, filmmaker, speaker, painter and writer. In her latest project ,We are Water, she is helping to lead an educational campaign for everyday behavioural changes which will enable greater access to and preservation of the worlds endangered fresh water resources.
