Press Release
DEMA is a staunch proponent of democracy, equality, individual liberties, and civil discourse, and stands with people and organizations of conscience around the world in condemning all unnecessary violence and aggression.
The action in Ukraine has already resulted in thousands of lives lost and uprooted more than a million people from their homes.
For the protection and safety of all, including the entire diving community in eastern Europe, we hope that this extremely volatile situation, and its threatening and unpredictable consequences, can soon be defused and resolved.
