See Paul, Andrea, Sally, Mark and co at DIVE 2017
Visitors to DIVE 2017 at the NEC, Birmingham on 21 and 22 October will have the chance to interact with a truly impressive line-up of speakers. Paul Rose, Andrea Zaferes, Sally Cartwright and Mark Powell will be among the top divers making gripping presentations on both days of the show.

Other must-see DIVER Stage presenters include Jack Perks(“Freshwater Diving in Britain”); Marcus Greatwood (“Extreme-Location Freediving”); Martyn Farr (“The Darkness Beckons”); Rosemary Lunn (“What’s Wrong With UK Diving?”) and Shane Wasik (“Basking Sharks off Scotland”).
