Recently-qualified BSAC divers will be able to take advantage of a very special ticket offer at the forthcoming Birmingham Dive Show (DIVE 2014) at the NEC on the weekend of 25th and 26th October.

Newly qualified Ocean Divers who qualified on or after 01/11/2013 will be able to claim a complimentary ticket giving access to the event on either the Saturday or the Sunday totally free of charge.

To benefit from this saving of £12.50 off the full ticket price, new BSAC divers will simply need to show their BSAC Qualification Card and Record Book at the DIVE 2014 ticket kiosk, where they will be given the complimentary ticket and asked to fill in their contact details.

Alternatively to save time at the show, Qualifying Ocean Divers can download a voucher here.

If you are a BSAC Instructor attending the BSAC Diving Conference (Saturday, 25th October at the NEC), you will automatically receive free weekend access to the Birmingham Dive Show.

Full details on the BSAC Diving Conference 2014 will be released soon.

Alternatively, BSAC Instructors can take advantage of DIVE 2014’s 2-4-1 ticket offer. When buying your DIVE 2014 ticket online, simply input ‘2 tickets’ where it says How Many Tickets? Then the promotional code BSAC2-4-1. Or produce your instructor ID on the day to buy your ticket at the DIVE 2014 ticket kiosk, and receive a second ticket for free.

This offer is based on the door ticket price of £12.50 and not the advanced ticket price. You must take your Instructor ID or qualification card with you on the day to gain entry to the Dive Show halls.

Experience a night Dive at the West Rock Shipwreck with Euro-Divers

Published

shipwreck

There’s something magical about night diving— the ocean transforms into a whole new world, alive with mystery and wonder. At Euro-Divers Meeru, we love sharing this unique experience with our guests, and the West Rock Shipwreck is one of our favourite sites for night diving.

Here’s why:

Setting the Scene

The adventure begins at 17:30 as divers gather on the boat. After thoroughly checking our equipment, the boat departs for the dive site. The 15-minute journey is a treat, with the calm sea and the soft glow of the setting sun creating the perfect atmosphere.

Arriving at West Rock, the boat gently moors above the wreck. As our team briefs you on the dive, we will walk you through the special night diving techniques, such as using a torch and maintaining buddy contact, ensuring you feel confident and prepared. While we wait for the sun to set, there is time to relax with a cup of tea or coffee and take in the breathtaking colours of the Maldivian sunset.

The Dive Begins

Once darkness settles, it’s time to dive. The West Rock Shipwreck—a small cargo freighter sunk in 1999—rests at 20 meters on a sandy plateau. Over the years, it has become a vibrant reef, teeming with marine life.

As we descend, the beams of our torches cut through the dark water, revealing the wreck’s coral-covered surfaces. It is always thrilling to see the wreck come to life under the light. Colourful nudibranchs, scorpionfish, frogfish, and shrimps are just a few of the creatures that call this wreck home.

We often find parrotfish and pufferfish inside the wreck settled in for the night, while lionfish and moray eels lurk in the shadows. We frequently spot larger residents, too—Napoleon wrasse or even a resting nurse shark, peacefully tucked away beneath the ship’s hull. Every corner of the wreck offers something new to discover.

Underwater Galaxy

As the dive comes to an end, we have one final highlight to share. During the safety stop at 5 metres, we may ask you to switch off your torch and gently move your hands through the water. This action stirs up bioluminescent plankton, lighting up like tiny stars surrounding you— a magical, otherworldly experience that never fails to amaze.

Post-Dive Bliss

Emerging from the dive, we are welcomed by the cool night air and a canopy of stars. The boat crew helps us as we climb aboard, where hot tea or coffee awaits to warm us up. The journey back to shore is filled with shared stories and a sense of camaraderie that only diving together can create.

Night dives like this one at the West Rock Shipwreck offer more than just an exploration of marine life; they remind us of the beauty and mystery of the underwater world.
