Tickets now on sale for the 2015 Scottish Dive Conference
The Scottish Dive Conference red carpet is ready to be unfurled on Saturday 21st November. Stirling University will once again be the stage of the 2015 performance with another jam-packed day lined up for you.
A plethora of new and returning speakers will be presenting in the main theatre or in one of the four break out rooms. This year there will be talks from all wards of diving: Arctic Explorers, Film/Camera Photography, Life Support, Marine Conservation, Archaeological, Disability, Rivers, Caves, Wrecks, Technical, Free divers, and more.
Stirling University’s central location has great commuter links, acres of free parking, on-site amenities and accommodation. The main Atrium area will again hold the event’s reception, lunch, and the growing collaboration of stands and stalls with marine conservation groups, dive charters, book sales, marine outboard engine services and sales, and dive equipment sales, full of new shiny dive things to tempt you at dive show prices. This year the RNLI would like to invite you to bring along your boating life preservers to be checked for sea worthiness. This free service is to make sure it would be effective if an overboard incident occurred whilst wearing it.
Conference delegates will receive a programme and bag of various goodies, offers and leaflets donated from attending groups, dive charters, travel arrangers and major equipment manufacturers. There’s also the chance to win big in the Dive Conference raffle with plenty of ‘not to be missed’ prizes up for grabs.
After the conference there will be an evening of fine dining with a three course meal and speakers, before dancing the night away at Stirling Court Hotel just 200 yards from the venue. Conference goers can take advantage of special offer room rates (subject to availability):
Single occupancy £50 per room/night B&B
Double occupancy £75 per room/night B&B
