Go Diving

A surreal experience where you can effortlessly move in three-dimensions, often cited as being the nearest you can get to flying. Have you ever harboured an innate desire to give it a go? Now you can come and experience diving for the first time at GO Diving - and find a host of experts on hand to answer those questions you were perhaps afraid to ask.

The Inspiration Stage will host talks aimed at dispelling some of the myths around diving, giving even more reasons why you would want to learn to dive. Come listen to BBC stars Andy Torbet and Miranda Krestovnikoff, from Beyond Bionic, The One Show, Coast, Wreck Detectives and Operation Iceberg, discussing how they got into diving, what they love about exploring beneath the surface, and hear about some of their underwater adventures.

Existing divers are also well catered for at GO Diving, with dedicated sections focusing on the disciplines of Underwater Photography, Freediving (in conjunction with DeeperBlue.com) and Technical Diving. Think your trim is up to scratch? Got your S-drills nailed? Navigation in the bag? Come and showcase your abilities at our interactive sessions - and see if you can beat the industry pros! There's even an area for The Next Generation of divers, all those keen kids and talented teens already attracted to the underwater realm.

Other key speakers already lined up include legendary record-breaking freediver Umberto Pelizzari, renowned Canadian technical diver and cave diver Jill Heinerth, underwater photography guru Alex Mustard MBE, TV favourite and author Monty Halls, deep-wreck photography specialist Leigh Bishop, acclaimed photographer and expedition expert Tomasz Stachura, world-famous professional mermaid Linden Wolbert, and multi-award-winning film-maker David Diley.
