Hi
even if it's a little far away, I can't resist to introduce you to the Duan Diving Week from 7 to 14 December 2013. This week will end by the first cave diving conference in China.
This event is organized by Du'an Government, with my help. It marks the official birth of the first Chinese dive center, mainly for technical and cave diving.
