Time flies...
We all met just 3 weeks ago during BOOT Show to coordinate the final details for our Lake Baikal expedition. Everybody was eager to be introduced to the products we will be taking, including the MARES equipment we will be bringing with us for testing. We prepared everything in Rapallo and shipped it out to all team members prior to the show. We also prepared outdoor and diving wear for the team so that they can stay warm prior to, during and after their dives. Here we received great help from Bosse Oeijberg/CBM in Sweden who recommended NORTH FACE outdoor wear with the help of retailer Addnature. For everything dive related, we were in extremely good hands with Paul Strike from FOURTH ELEMENT. Both outdoor wear and diving wear is meant to be for the toughest conditions and we can't wait to test everything on site. Fully-equipped, the following team members are heading to airports in various parts of the world today, meeting tomorrow in Irkutsk: Andreas Kron - Expedition Leader/ Model and International XR Training Director for SSI. Karin Struwe - Female Tester / Model Dusan Runjajic - Photo / Film Coordinator Gerald Nowak - UW Photographer Frank Dornberger - UW Cameraman Max-Martin Bayer - Outdoor Cameraman / Aerials Stefan Michl - Equipment Coordinator As we said, time flies, and so do we... we're heading to the airport. Off we go - see you there!
