* AGS Shark Short Stories:

- The Asian Geographic Society is organizing an educational booth at the Asia Dive Expo to promote SHARKS. They need your help! - Have you got an interesting story about a shark encounter? Do you dream of one day swimming with the largest fish in the sea? Perhaps you boast to friends about a thrilling dive with an apex predator. Or plan your dive trips to seek out a specific species. If so, why not put pen to paper for the AGS writing assignment, in support of their shark conservation campaign? - Please submit your Shark Short Story (word limit of 500) using the form online (see web link below). All entries submitted by 12th March 2010 stand a chance to be included in the AGS campaign materials. Submissions can still be sent in after that date but there won’t be time to include them in the display feature. - Even if you don't submit an entry, the AGS team hope to meet you at their booth during ADEX 2010, where a selection of the most impressive short stories will be on display. - The "AGS Shark Short Stories" submission form is online here; http://asiangeographic.org/shark-short-stories.phtml

See you at the brand new Asia Dive Expo, from 9-11 April 2010, at Suntec Convention Centre in Singapore!
