LIDS 2013 SPONSORS
The Shows for Scuba Divers!
Twice a year the diving world gears up for two highlights of the sport's calendar - the London International Dive Show (LIDS) at ExCeL, and the Birmingham Dive Show (DIVE) at the NEC.
Organised for more than 20 years by DIVER, Britain's best-selling diving magazine, each event attracts hundreds of exhibitors offering the latest diving holidays, training courses, and dive gear - on display and to buy - and is visited by thousands of experienced and aspiring divers from the UK, Europe and beyond.
The Dive Shows also deliver an unrivalled programme of free presentations from the world's top diving speakers. And this is combined with popular in-hall features such as the Try Dive Pool, Rebreather Pool, PhotoZone, and New Product Showcase, plus themed Travel and Dive-Training areas.
Coming to the NEC on 26/27 October, the next big date for your diary is DIVE 2013.
If you've been to the Birmingham Dive Show before, you'll know that everything under the sun (and the sea) can be found there. Compare or buy all that "essential" kit you've been hankering after; plan or book dive trips; or meet some of sport diving's biggest names.

OPENING TIMES
Saturday 26th October 2013 - 9:30am-6:00pm
Sunday 27th October 2013 - 9:30am-5:00pm
Special Features
In-hall features at DIVE 2013 will include the Try-Dive Pool, Rebreather Pool, expanded PhotoZone, New Products Showcase, 3D Free-Dive Simulator and themed Travel areas.
Speaker Presentations
By popular demand over recent years there have been more interactive experiences within the hall itself, and this process will be taken a step further at DIVE 2013 with the installation of the impressive DIVER Stage and Centre Stage. This will allow many of the main guest-speaker presentations to take place closer to the exhibition stands.
Exhibitor Seminars
DIVE 2013 will be holding a wide range of seminars for visitors. In addition to the speakers appearing on the DIVER and Centre Stages, there will be a host of other expert divers making specialist presentations at the Show.
