Synopsis:
Tell us a story of how it all began – since the 1500s Leonardo Da Vinci’s design the first known scuba, which appeared in his Codex Atlanticus, to the era of diving explorer pioneers such as Jacques Cousteau and more.

Scuba diving has come a long way. From the fascination on breathing underwater to the advent in engineering and technological advances in the gear and equipment, from male-dominated sports with an ever-growing female divers database, to the branching out of scuba diving to its many other underwater disciplines.

ADEX Pixel Virtual Expo brings together the league of diving pioneers from the diverse disciplines to share the beginning of their lifetime commitment with diving, their personal journey, the challenges that they faced, the growth of the sport from its nascent stage till now, their expectations of its future, and how they would have predicted the sport in ten years time.
