Go wild for Monty’s Philippines typhoon fundraiser
TV diver and explorer Monty Halls is hosting a special fundraiser on 15 December in aid of the Philippines after the devastating impact of Typhoon Haiyan.
“Go Wild for the Philippines” – to be held at the Victoria Rooms in Bristol – was conceived by Monty as a one off event created by the wildlife-filming and diving community to support the people of those areas ravaged by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Taking place on Sunday 15 December, tickets sold out within 48 hours of going on sale.
The response was so overwhelming that Monty decided to add an extra special event in the evening. This is “Go Wild – UNCUT”. The evening will showcase top wildlife speakers Ben Fogle, Doug Allan, Steve Backshall and Dr Alice Roberts along with Monty himself.
Tickets are in the form of a donation of £10 to the nominated charity Shelterbox, who are working night and day to provide shelter, water purification, tools and hope to the people in the areas ravaged by the typhoon. With this in mind please be aware it is a blanket fee of £10 + a small handling fee for every person attending. This is an absolute snip for this unique line-up of stars, but will still make a big difference to the people still suffering in the Philippines.

In an interview recorded exclusively for Scubaverse.com, Jeff Goodman interviews Jeremy Higson from Sea to Sky about the itineraries the tour operator offers in Oman.

Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!
