Celebrate British diving at ScubaFest Cornwall

ScubaFest Cornwall is just under three months away – so make sure the 3rd to the 5th May is in your dive diary and kick start the 2014 season the Pentewan way!
For three days over the Spring Bank Holiday – Saturday 3rd to Monday 5th May 2014 – scuba divers take over the Pentewan Sands Holiday Park , near St Austell, to dive, meet, socialise, and have a good time.
Organised by the Scuba Industry Trade Association (SITA), there will be shore diving, RHIB diving and hard boat diving available for divers and groups. And, with a fantastic beach at Pentewan and free launching courtesy of Suunto, dive clubs are also encouraged to bring their own RIB and make the most of the whole weekend.
Plus, there is a host of other activities going on to keep divers and their families entertained, including:
- Free try dives with BSAC
- Rebreather tasters and diver workshops
- BSAC Beachcombing sessions down on the beach
- The divers’ ‘Toy Town’ feature, bringing together manufacturers such as Suunto, Apeks, Typhoon and many more
- Evening entertainment, including live bands and karaoke

Introducing the RF-40 Fins from DYNAMICNORD

With the sporty RF-40 open-heel fin by DYNAMICNORD, you enjoy maximum effectiveness and fun. The innovative design guarantees ease and power – exactly what every diver wants.
Designed and engineered in Germany. Made in Europe.
The RF-40 open-heel fin delivers. Its harder blade will especially delight sporty divers.
The powerful blade of the RF-40 fin and its dynamic design with innovative water channels allow to perform both technical and recreational kicks with maximum propulsion. The power is efficiently transmitted from the foot pocket and sole to the blade for outstanding kick stability and manoeuvrability. With the RF-40 fin, sporty divers are guaranteed to have a blast underwater.
The foot pocket of the open-heel fin is comfortable, and the smart bungee strap enables to make small length adjustments without using any tools. This way, the fin can be used with neoprene boots or with a drysuit. The heel pad has a large finger loop that is easy to grasp even when wearing gloves, making donning and doffing the fin a breeze.
The RF-40 fins are available from DYNAMICNORD dealers in six great colours.
