Great Northern Dive Show announced for 2017
Wigan-based H2O Divers, the organisers of The Great Northern Dive Show (TGNDS) which took place at Event City in Manchester back in April, have announced that the regional event will once again take place in 2017 – and they have promised that next year the show will be bigger, better and full of surprises.
One of the stand-out features of this year’s show was ‘The Aqua Theatre’, which the organisers say is the largest portable open-windowed tank in the world. The Aqua Theatre, which has been used in many major films, TV shows and events, will return next year, and will once again be frequented by beautiful mermaids and technical divers demonstrating their skills to the show’s visitors.
There will be a fashion show where manufacturers and distributors will be able to show off all their latest dive gear (Beauty pageant fans will no doubt be pleased to hear that Miss Lancashire has already been confirmed as one of the fashion show’s models).
There will be a whole host of speakers on the main stage from the world of diving and marine conservation to captivate the audience with thrilling and informative seminars. Speakers confirmed so far include Chantelle Taylor Newman and Gareth Locke, with many more to follow.
Next Year’s Great Northern Dive Show will take place at Event City on the weekend of the 8th – 9th April. Tickets to the show will cost £8.00 for adults if purchased online before the show or £10.00 on the door. Tickets for children will cost £5.00. It is yet to be announced when tickets will go on sale.
No word yet on whether Batman will return for next year’s event.

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.
