GET YOUR 2009 SEASON OFF TO A FLYING START AT LIDS 2009
This year’s London International Dive Show on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 March aims to put the smiles on visitors’ faces again, by gathering an impressive list of over 200 exhibitors and top names from the diving world over a sparkling weekend.
If you plan to bring someone to the show who is not yet a diver they can have a shot at scuba in the Try-Dive Pool. Existing divers can check out the Technical Pool, where equipment and skill demonstrations will be held over the weekend.
After a busy day in the hall, you can pop along to the seminar theatres and rest your feet whilst listening to, amongst others, Paul Rose from the BBC’s Oceans programme, Eco-warrior Captain Paul Watson, the ever-poplular Monty Halls and British freediver Marcus Greatwood.
Training agencies will be out in force, so if you are thinking of taking up the sport or getting more diver qualifications you can talk to the BSAC or PADI. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be part of a lifeboat crew, you should have a better idea after you’ve taken a ride in the RNLI Lifeboat Simulator. Alongside this, Natural England’s Undersea Landscapes Explorer will also be taking families on a simulated exploration of the landscapes that lie hidden beneath the waves in the seas around England. Visitors to LIDS will be among the first to try out this amazing experience.
