Free dive show tickets and workshops at DiVE 2018

To be held at the NEC over the weekend of the 27/28 October, this year’s Birmingham Dive Show offers the latest diving holidays and dive gear with exhibitors from across the industry as well as diving agencies. BSAC will be at the show of course, so pop along to stand 940 to catch up on the latest BSAC news and offers, or to simply come and have a chat.

There are also a great selection of in-hall features such as the Try Dive Pool, TekPool, PhotoZone and New Product Showcase to keep you and your friends or family entertained.

As well as its exhibitors and in-hall feature zones, DIVE 2018 also offers its typical high-quality speaker line up, with a full schedule of free presentations, including Monty Halls - on his new prime time Channel 4 show My Family and the Galapagos, Paul Rose - with dive tales from his National Geographic tours and Shannon Buhl - on the most highly rated public-safety dive-team in the USA.

And, new for 2018, expect a certain number of mermaids in the pools from time to time as part of the in-pool demonstrations – with current popularity of mermaiding proving a great help in attracting more people to the sport of freediving.
