We are delighted to announce that the Dive Lectures 2017, brought to you by
the London Diving Chamber in aid of Scuba Trust, will take place on Wednesday
8th March, 2017, at the Royal Geographical Society in London.
Now in our 18th year of the Dive Lectures, we welcome you back to the RGS for
an evening of escapism, adventure and laughter, with great speakers,
promotional stands and, most importantly, fundraising for a great cause.
It is with immense pleasure that we welcome to the stage, our first female
speaker in nearly 12 years, Research Scientist Dawn Kernagis, who will be
talking us through her time on the NEEMO NASA mission where she lived for 8
days on the worlds only undersea research station with astronauts, engineers
and fellow scientists.
Following Dawn on stage will be Dive Lectures and RGS firm favourite, Paul
Rose, a man at the front line of exploration and one of the world’s most
experienced science expedition leaders. Paul Rose helps scientists unlock and
communicate global mysteries in the most remote and challenging regions of
the planet.
Entrance will be free so please ensure that you help us to fill those Scuba
Trust buckets on the night. This is the Trust's biggest fundraising event of
the year so please do dig deep to make sure that we beat last years fantastic

Dawn Kernagis
Dr. Dawn Kernagis is a Research Scientist at the Institute for Human and
Machine Cognition, where she studies human performance optimization and risk
mitigation for operators in extreme environments, such as those working in
undersea diving, high altitude aviation, and space.
Dr. Kernagis completed her PhD at Duke University as ONR Undersea Medicine’s
first Predoctoral Award recipient. Prior to her research career, Dawn was a
diver and leader of numerous underwater exploration, research, and
conservation projects around the world since 1993, including the deep
underwater exploration of Wakulla Springs Cave and surrounding caves for over
a decade. Based on her extensive underwater exploration, mentorship, and
research experience in the diving community, she was selected as an inductee
into the Women Divers Hall of Fame, Class of 2016.

NEEMO 21 Mission: Going Undersea to get to Outerspace
NEEMO is a NASA mission that sends groups of astronauts, engineers and
scientists to live in Aquarius, the world’s only undersea research station.
The Aquarius habitat and its surroundings provide a convincing analog for
space exploration and for testing emerging technology and protocol for long
duration space operations. This summer, Dawn Kernagis had the opportunity to
join NEEMO as both a crew member and a researcher, living underwater for 8
days with 5 other crew members. Dawn will provide an overview of the NEEMO 21
mission, including the crew’s training, experience of living and working
underwater, and over a dozen mission objectives ranging from telemedicine to
robotics to genetics.
Paul Rose
Former Vice President of the Royal Geographical Society – representing
Fieldwork and Expeditions, Paul is Expedition Leader for the National
Geographic Pristine Seas Expeditions. He was the Base Commander of Rothera
Research Station, Antarctica, for the British Antarctic Survey for 10 years
and was awarded HM The Queen's Polar Medal. For his work with NASA and the
Mars Lander project on Mt Erebus, Antarctica, he was awarded the US Polar
Medal. A mountain in Antarctica is named after him.
Talk:
Changing the world - one dive at a time! The ocean remains our largest, least
understood, least protected and most exciting ecosystem. All divers should
celebrate the recent ocean protection successes, because it’s by being active
divers who are tuned in to global issues, that we form the ocean
constituency. Paul shares his passion for the sea, his work and the
illuminating behind the scenes stories of making it happen!
