The UK’s biggest
event for divers!
DIVING EVENTS don’t
get any better than the
NEC Birmingham dive
show, now approaching its
20th year as the UK’s
biggest and most popular
festival for divers.
The show has earned an
unrivalled reputation as a
place where divers from
around the world gather
to advance their sport – to
talk and to listen, to buy
and to sell, to teach and to
learn, to see and be seen.
This year’s event, over
the 30/31 October weekend, is set to be one of the
most exciting to date, with
hundreds of exhibitors
and a tantalising line-up of guest
diving speakers covering a wide
range of hot diving topics (see
below).
Following their talks, there will
be the chance to catch up with
speakers on the show floor –
where you’ll also find yourself
surrounded by diving experts of
all kinds, ready to help you learn
more about the things that matter
to your diving. Whether you’re
thinking of booking a training
course, planning a liveaboard
diving holiday or buying a drysuit, there will be someone to
advise, with new ideas, products
and packages. There will also be
guidance on specialist diving
topics ranging from underwater
photography to marine life identification.
The Dive Show is all about
meeting people, and if you’re
thinking of visiting a particular
destination, what could be handier than getting a heads-up from
those who dive there regularly by
dropping in on show stands such
as those in the PADI Village.

the first divers to see a range of
great new kit as you browse the
stands. Here are some examples:

under 3kg (stand 1230).
TUSA will introduce

air-integrated computer,
the IQ-950 Zen (950).
Oceanic also makes a

ONE OF THE OTHER big Dive
Show draws is, of course, the huge
amount of dive gear to look at, try
on and buy – often at very tempting prices.
The New Products Showcase is

keen to catch up on the latest
ideas in diving equipment, before
WANT TO FIND OUT more
about wreck diving overseas and
in the UK? Considering becoming a technical diver, a dive
instructor, or even a pro diver?
You'll find expert information
about these and many other hot
diving topics at Dive 2010 in the
four Dive Show seminar rooms
off the main NEC concourse.
All in all, there will be more
than 20 different seminar presentations over the weekend, but
highlights include:
● The amazing wrecks of Truk
Lagoon and Palau
● Deco expert Mark Powell on
real-life DCI incidents
● Technical guru Jack Ingle on
how to configure your dive gear
● The wrecks and reefs of southeast Scotland
● David Jones on the advantages
of side-mount diving
● Saeed Rashid on how to
improve your underwater images
with Photoshop
● Phill Short on CCR Design,
Testing and Safety.
And remember, as with the
main presentations at Dive 2010,
all show seminars are free!

Welcome to our diving world!
See their presentations – and catch up with them later on the Show Floor at Dive 2010!
CONCOURSE SUITE 1
Packed to the brim with diving celebrities and experts, the main show
sessions will focus on marine life, deep wrecks, cave diving and
underwater exploration – in the UK and overseas. What more could you
ask for in a Dive Show – and all the presentations are free of charge.

Darksite Diving – Classic
Cavern & Cave-Diving Sites
of Europe
going back over the past 80 years. This
film is at times uncomfortable to watch,
and at other moments will produce
laughter and gasps of disbelief – don't
miss it!
Leading British cavediver Martyn Farr's
presentation
represents his way of
helping to open up
what he calls
"darksite diving" to
everybody, by taking
us on a tour of the
best and most accessible locations to
dive underground in the UK and Ireland,
as well as continental Europe.

Andrea Marshall
Ray of Hope
12.30 - 1.30
Rich Stevenson
A Decade of Deep
Wreck Exploration
Rich is one of Britain's
best-known technical
divers, and he has
prepared a
presentation that uses
his career of diving a
succession of iconic
deep wrecks as a
jumping-off point to
track the development
of technical diving. "I call it a decade, but
in reality I'll be going back to the mid1990s, when I started technical diving,"
he says. Rich has been involved in some
of the most challenging wreck dives of
the technical era in the UK.
1.45 - 2.45
Paul Rose
UK Oceans
A woman at the
forefront of research
into big marine
animals, Andrea
proved a hit at LIDS
this year with her
presentation, which
elaborated on her
ground-breaking
research work with
manta rays at
Inhambane, Mozambique. Since then
she has been travelling around the
world, learning more about mantas by
means of her ground-breaking satellitetagging project. "I'll be sharing a lot of
new information on the elusive giant
mantas that I discovered at major
aggregation sites around the globe,"
promises the Queen of Mantas, who
recognises at least 700 manta rays
purely by their markings. "Should be
pretty exciting stuff!" says Andrea.

John Boyle
Saving Nemo
You can read all the
fascinating
background to the
making of top
underwater film-maker
John Boyle's latest HD
documentary in
October’s DIVER Magazine, but in the UK
only the Dive Show gives you the chance
to see the preview of the 50-minute Saving
Nemo. It's about the threat to anenomefish
from the aquarium trade, a danger that was
only aggravated by the animated film
Finding Nemo 10 years ago."Twenty million
clownfish worth $50 million will be taken
from the wild this year," says John, who
has recorded his subjects' life-style with his
usual light touch, but has also visited the
Nemo farms and illegal fish markets of
Thailand. "A spin-off from the film is brand
new scientific findings showing by DNAtagging that, after being hatched into the
plankton, these tiny larvae actually find
their way back to their home reef," says
John. "Nemo really does come home!"
2.00 - 3.00
Lesley Rochat
Shark Warrior
Lesley is a former actress, TV presenter
and swimsuit model from South Africa who
turned down the offer of a Playboy cover –
twice. She is also known as the Shark
Warrior, as avid a
conservationist as she
is a diver. She founded
the AfriOceans
Conservation Alliance
(AOCA), and launched
a hard-hitting
awareness campaign
that included the
tagging and release of
aquarium sharks. Campaigns since have
included "Rethink the Shark" for children,
and her Blue Pulse Pictures production
company has made many documentaries,
including the award-winning Sharks in
Deep Trouble. "I'm excited to be
presenting to the Dive 2010 audience," she
says. "My talk will include a selection of
powerful imagery, including video footage
combined into a multi-media presentation
that invites the audience to rethink the
shark and rethink the oceans."
3.15 - 4.15
Monty Halls
Great Escapes
Breaking news – those
TV people have let
Monty out temporarily
so that he can come
among us at
Birmingham. "I'm a
huge fan of the Dive
Shows... they remain one of the absolute
highlights of the diving calendar," says
Monty. For his third series of Great
Escapes, he's been working with whales
and dolphins on the west coast of Ireland,
so stand by for thrills!

Paul Rose is also one

him at recent Dive
Shows will confirm. Paul led the initial
BBC Oceans TV expeditions, and
became a Show attraction shortly
afterwards. This year he has been
