TEKDiveUSA LLC is excited to announce that we have retained The Underwater Marketing Company to help organize and promote TEKDiveUSA, a two day advanced and technical diving conference and specialist exhibition, similar in approach to both EUROTEK and OZTek.
Randy Thornton, CEO of TEKDiveUSA LLC stated,"We decided to launch TEKDiveUSA after being inspired by some great experiences we've had at other events around the world. And after seeing just how popular Rebreather Forum 3 was last year, it seemed the obvious next step to take. It has been many years since we have had a technical diving conference in this country and it felt like the right time for the USA to have its own home grown event.
The prime focus of TEKDiveUSA is to educate and entertain. We want to help further the educational aspects of advanced and technical diving, while giving people who are out there doing exciting projects, a platform to share their story with others. This is the perfect opportunity to get the entire technical community engaged - regardless of agency affiliation or philosophy - together as one unified group. It will be great to see everyone sharing experiences, and be motivated by, and from each other. It's truly going to be an inspirational diving conference."
Rosemary E Lunn, Business Development Director of The Underwater Marketing Company stated, "I am delighted to say we have already got a number of top drawer speakers on board. Associate Professor Simon J Mitchell, (Head of Anesthesiology - University of Auckland), Richard Lundgren, (deep wreck explorer), The Phantom Cave Team and Dr Neal W Pollock (Research Director at DAN) have already said "yes we'd love to come and talk Roz". We are currently drafting a really interesting lecture schedule covering everything from physiology, cave diving, imaging and wreck diving, through to equipment, rebreathers, safety and techniques.
TEKDiveUSA will be held on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th May 2014 in Florida, so scribble the date down and reserve that weekend now. We will be announcing the venue, website and exhibitor details soon. However we can confirm that TEKDiveUSA will be held every two years, and we will be considering a west coast venue for TEKDiveUSA.2016.
One of the things I love about these big international advanced and technical diving conferences is the camaraderie, quality face time and exposure that you get with leading pioneers and explorers. It is a bit like being back stage at a top rock concert when you bump into the likes of Bill Stone, Richard Pyle, Rick Stanton or Evan Kovacs. The really cool thing is that because we are all divers, we love talking about diving and everyone is very friendly. I've seen delegates have some really in-depth conversations with the speakers on the stairs, at the bar or over breakfast."
"We have been involved with diver education for many years. It is the foundation of everything we do", observed Randy Thornton. "By learning about our craft we are able to push boundaries of exploration further in the safest manner possible. I look forward to opening the door and giving new divers who are curious about advanced and technical diving, a peek at this genre. You certainly don't need to be a hard core tekkie to come to TEKDiveUSA, just someone who wants to get more out of their personal diving.
Even though this conference is called TEKDiveUSA, it is not going to be American centric. We consider this to be an international event. After all, when you look at the major exploration teams around the world, they are comprised of people from many countries. Since we belong to a global community, we are confident the international diving community will feel most welcome! So please join us on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18 May, 2014 in Miami forTEKDiveUSA."
