The dates have been announced for this year’s ScubaFest diving events in the UK. The weekend-long celebrations of British diving will be held once again in Cornwall and Anglesey.

ScubaFest is organised by the Scuba Industry Trade Association (SITA) – with the Cornwall event being held at Pentewan Sands from 3rd to 5th May and the Anglesey ScubaFest scheduled for 16th and 17th August at the Anglesey Outdoor Centre.

With RIB and hardboat diving, plus the opportunity for clubs to bring their own RIBs, the diving at both ScubaFests will be complimented by a range of topside, family-friendly activities, including trade stands, try dives, beach fun and games, and evening entertainment.

So get the dates in your diary now…and add ScubaFest 2014 to your club’s dive trip planner for this year.
