DIVINTOK Makes a Stunning Debut at the ADEX Expo 2024
ADEX Beijing 2024
After a five-year break, the Asia Dive Expo (ADEX) returned to Beijing, bringing together diving brands and professionals from around the world. The event marked a strong revival of the diving industry, attracting visitors from across China and abroad.
DIVINTOK took part with two booths — one in collaboration with PADI, and another as an independent testing zone for its underwater transceivers. Divers had the chance to experience the product firsthand and explore its communication features in person.
Debut of the Dive Transceiver
On the afternoon of July 12, the first day of ADEX, DIVINTOK, in collaboration with PADI, held a global launch ceremony on the main stage of the exhibition. Many divers and diving professionals were there to witness this significant moment.
Following four years of dedicated research and development, DIVINTOK officially unveiled its latest dive communication solutions — the Underwater Transceiver Mini and the Surface Transceiver — along with their key technical specifications.
The Underwater Transceiver Mini is designed for compatibility with traditional open-circuit scuba systems, supporting dive depths of up to 40 meters, a communication range of 50 meters, and a battery life of 4 hours. The Surface Transceiver extends communication capabilities to 75 meters, also offers 4 hours of battery life, and features built-in recording functionality. Notably, the Underwater Transceiver can operate independently, without requiring connection to the Surface Transceiver.
Independent evaluations conducted by PADI Lab’s ScubaLab and other international testing facilities have confirmed the device’s excellent performance in both breathing resistance and CO₂ washout efficiency — key safety metrics in underwater communication systems.
At the launch event, Xiaowei Yu, a diver with expertise in mermaid diving, underwater photography, and technical diving, shared her hands-on experience with the DIVINTOK Transceiver. She also presented a video demonstrating its application in mermaid instruction and underwater imaging, highlighting its practical value in specialized scenarios.
PADI Course Director Linda Li Dinghui, who authored the DIVINTOK Specialty Course and serves as its first Instructor Trainer, introduced the course framework and invited divers to explore the future of underwater communication.
Lou Yan, President of PADI China, reflected on DIVINTOK’s development journey and presented the very first PADI DIVINTOK Diver Specialty Instructor Trainer certificate.
At the expo, DIVINTOK's Dive Communication Experience Zone drew significant attention from visitors. Divers had the opportunity to test real-time communication between underwater transceivers, as well as interaction between underwater and surface units. For many, the ability to “talk underwater” was an entirely new and eye-opening experience.
And this is just the beginning. While ADEX Beijing has come to a close, DIVINTOK's journey is only getting started. Just as humanity took its first small step toward “walking on the moon” in the 1970s, DIVINTOK now embarks on its mission to enable “talking under water” — inviting divers everywhere to join a new era of underwater communication.
