This edition includes important information regarding new owners of IAHD.

Between 5^th and 7^th of February 2010 Zrece will host a diving symposium, a central social and academic event for divers in Slovenia and neighboring countries. Over the last seven years, the Symposium has become a forum where recreational divers can get an update on current diving practices, new trends in diving and related science. Although the central theme of Symposium varied, all had in common a connection of regional diving history and modern diving advances in a global diving community.

Attendants will meet some of the pioneers of diving and some current top world divers and scientists (Alf O. Brubakk, Neil W. Pollock, Paul Rose, Anatoly M. Sagalevitch, Carla Binelli, Andrey Chistiakov, Joze Turk and others).

Getting together enables us to widen our horizons, either by learning about expeditions beyond the limit, or by opening underwater world to divers with special needs.

It is always a celebration of diving that motivates us to advance our diving skills and improve safety of diving. Finally, it is an opportunity to meet old friends, make new ones and party together.
