It’s ScubaFest Cornwall this weekend!
What better way to kick start the Great British diving season than to head down to St Austell in sunny Cornwall this weekend with a whole bunch of like-minded people for Cornwall ScubaFest 2016.
For three days over this Spring Bank Holiday – Saturday 30th April to Monday 2nd May 2016 – scuba divers take over the Pentewan Sands Holiday Park and dive, dance, sing and have a good time.
There will be shore diving, RIB diving, hard boat diving, try dives for beginners and rebreather try dives for the more experienced, workshops for divers and funshops for your non-diving families and friends. In the exhibitors village there are all the top name brands showing their stuff and there will be the chance to try out some of the newest gear on the market. Talk to the equipment manufacturers about your current diving and your training agency guys about your future plans.
In the evenings there will be competitions and games for all the family, along with bands playing each night, and a karaoke disco to keep you in the swing of things.
