Diving events don’t get any bigger or better than the Birmingham Dive Show at the NEC (DIVE 2010), now celebrating 20 years as the UK’s 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, and to meet up with friends and colleagues.

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 speakers covering a wide range of hot diving topics.

MANTAS, SHARKS – AND NEMO!

Marine life features strongly in the DIVE 2010 speaker programme. Sharks will be the subject for both Richard Peirce (with a presentation entitled "Shark Attack Britain"), and Lesley "Shark Warrior" Rochat. Meanwhile, Andrea Marshall, another woman at the forefront of research into big marine animals, will be describing her ground-breaking work with manta rays in Mozambique. Of particular interest is John Boyle's preview of his film Saving Nemo about the threat to anemonefish from the aquarium trade.

Two of Britain's foremost – and most active – divers will also be in attendance. The irrepressible Paul Rose will be describing his second BBC Oceans series – this time majoring on diving around the British Isles. And Monty Halls will be describing diving with whales and dolphins on the west coast of Ireland for his third Great Escapes TV series.
