Get Ready For UK National Diving Week
UK National Diving Week kicks off with the Anglesey Scubafest event on the weekend of 16th and 17th of August. Over the course of the 9 day UK National Diving Week period there will be the opportunity for the British public to ‘have a go’ at diving at their local dive centre or club by way of experiencing try dive sessions as well as snorkeling sessions in swimming pools.
UK National Diving Week has teamed up with dive industry organisations such as PADI EMEA who have kindly offered free Discover Scuba Diving sessions at 100 diving centres situated throughout the UK; and with 25 try dives per centre, that’s a total of 2500 new diving opportunities to members of the public who have never dived before. Fourth Element, SUUNTO, APEKS Aqualung and H20 Films are supporting the event by promoting it and providing a fantastic competition prize to one lucky winner.
UK National Diving Week event locations can also provide the opportunity for existing qualified divers to try new experiences such as diving with Closed Circuit Rebreathers or sidemount systems, learning new skills with some of the industry’s leading instructors, guru’s and mentors as well as having access to kit and top advice from dive manufacturers. It also offers people the simple opportunity to go diving on a UKNDW promoted dive. It is the goal of the UK National Diving Week to introduce at least 1000 new divers into the sport within the UK through this 9 day long event.
The person behind UK National Diving Week is Bryan Stanislas, a professional diver with over 25 years experience in the industry. He is very passionate about UK diving and believes that when it comes to easy accessible coastal locations as well as inland sites such as lakes,quarries and rivers, the UK has some of the greatest and most varied diving and snorkeling environments in the world.
UK National Diving Week is taking place this year from 16th – 24th August 2014 at various diving venues around the United Kingdom.
