Exclusive 2-4-1 ticket offer for PADI divers at DIVE 2016
Once again, PADI will be exhibiting at DIVE, taking place at the NEC, Birmingham (UK) on the 22 and 23 October.
PADI invite you, your diving and your non-diving friends to visit them at the PADI Village where PADI staff will be on hand to have a friendly chat and answer all your questions.
Introducing Gary Green, new PADI AmbassaDiver
This year, not only will PADI introduce you to the latest digital products and features, but also to a man who, with the help of PADI Dive Centre Deptherapy, overcame some massive obstacles in life and, against all odds, lives to tell the tale. Gary Green, PADI’s newest AmbassaDiver™, will be joining the organisation for the weekend to tell people how scuba diving changed his life after he was injured so badly by two bombs in Afghanistan that he was medically withdrawn from the Army. You can read Gary’s story here.
So visit the PADI stand to get inspired about how scuba diving really does change your life and get advice on planning your next adventure. If you’re feeling inspired, why not sign up for your next course with one of the exhibiting Dive Centres and get a free PADI gift* to take away with you.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
