Get Ready For The Diving Event of the Year
Booking a stand at DIVE 2008 comes with some concrete guarantees.
Being a dedicated Show, you'll also know that there's no wastage, everyone attending wants to know about diving first and foremost whether expert, enthusiast or beginner - they all want to be there. That's why it's fact and not fiction that we attracted over 16,000 divers to the Show last year!
Stand space is selling fast for this November's Dive Show (1/2 November) and over 300 companies are expected to take part. The list of companies is growing daily ensuring that 2008 will see the biggest and best Dive Show ever.
Once again, diving experts and celebrity speakers from all over the world will be giving free seminars and presentations to hundreds of seasoned and wannabe divers. The Try Dive Pool and Rebreather Pool will also be major features of the show, and the Historical Diving Society will be staging a fascinating display of diving artefacts and memorabilia.
Refreshing Year Upon Year
Reassuringly long established, the Show's success is thanks to its continued market evolution. Only through the passion and expert knowledge of
our DIVE 2008 team can the Show format be developed year on year ensuring it is always in total harmony with the spectrum of visitors.
At DIVE 2008, we will be focusing on attracting newcomers as well as satisfying the thirst for knowledge and information of our seasoned divers.
Potential newcomers will be targeted over an extended period of time with lots to get their imaginations going. This is all in addition to the ever-
increasing number of presentations, seminars and in-hall features that DIVE 2008 is famous for. So when you book a stand at DIVE 2008 you can be sure that you're signing up to a Show that's constantly evolving!
Who Should Exhibit?
A stand at DIVE 2008 is a must for any company targeting divers but, with over 80% of the audience also being ABC1 and under 45 years of age, the Show provides an excellent opportunity for organisations to meet large numbers of young, active and affluent people. For the most part though
you'll be rubbing shoulders with the likes of the following:

Tourist Boards, Travel Agents and Dive Destinations
Underwater Photographic Suppliers
Boat Manufacturers
Chandlery Suppliers
Compressor Manufacturers
Leisure Clothing Companies
Diver Training Agencies and Schools
Publishers.

out to attract the keenest divers around - whatever agency they may have trained with.
