Go Diving Show Inspiration Stage Speaker: Nick Lyon
In his usual unique style, Nick Lyon will be taking to the Inspiration Stage at the GO Diving Show in March for a presentation he says is ‘an overview of courses designed to stimulate interest and keep your local hyperbaric facility in business’.
Nick Lyon was born in Plymouth to seafaring parents and has been obsessed with the underwater world since childhood. After unsuccessfully pioneering the use of cardboard diving equipment in the bath, he went on to learn to dive properly in 1982 and, to his great surprise, eventually became qualified as an instructor trainer with the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC).
He has worked as the Southwest Regional Coach for the BSAC and has twice won the Alan Broadhurst Award for displaying the highest standards of diving conduct while performing an underwater rescue.
He spent 28 years working as an operating theatre practitioner before leaving the NHS to write and dive full-time. He is an award-winning writer and broadcaster, a commercial skipper, a wreck researcher and an International Fellow of the Explorers Club.
Go Diving Show 2025 takes place at the NAEC Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, on the 1st -2nd March.
