Explore hundreds of exhibitors showcasing the latest in diving equipment, underwater cameras, timepieces, and ocean-inspired gear. Catch 60+ talks and seminars over the weekend, including presentations from stunt diver Liz Parkinson, deepsea diver Chris Lemons, and cave diving expert Patrick Widmann.
