Booking a stand at DIVE 2010 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 October's Dive Show (30-31 October) and over 300 companies are expected to take part. The list of companies is growing daily ensuring that 2010 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 Technical 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.

Reassuringly long established, the Show's success is thanks to its continued market evolution. Only through the passion and expert knowledge of our DIVE 2010 team can the Show format be developed year on year ensuring it is always in total harmony with the spectrum of visitors. At DIVE 2010, 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 2010 is famous for. So when you book a stand at DIVE 2010 you can be sure that you're signing up to a Show that's constantly evolving!

A stand at DIVE 2010 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:

• Manufacturers and Retailers of Diving Equipment
• 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.

It's quality, not quantity, that counts – It's a phrase you hear often enough and at DIVE 2010 it couldn't be more true. The Show goes all out to attract the keenest divers around – whatever agency they may have trained with.

Attracting 15,619 divers in just two days to DIVE 2009 could be considered quite an achievement in itself. But for DIVE 2010 we're planning to do even better and here are just some of the promotional highlights:

• The full support of major training agencies – BSAC and PADI
• The full backing of the Diver Group – the UK's largest diving media organisation whose products include: Diver Magazine, Divernet, Dyk Magazine (Scandinavia), and the London and Scottish Dive Show
• Advertising and editorial support in all of the key UK diving magazines over a three month period
• Personal invitations with special offers to over 10,000 past visitors
• A 6,000 strong direct mail shot to a regional selection of visitors from our 'active divers' database
• Regional and national press coverage including 'ticket giveaway' competitions
• Link-ups with radio and TV stations nationwide
• Dedicated teams of Public Relations, Advertising and Research experts
• E-mail campaign to over 20,000 past visitors.

Exhibiting at DIVE 2010 will give you direct access to thousands of divers but the cost of stand space starts in the low hundreds – just £597 +VAT for a 2m x 1.5m stand inclusive of a stand system. And, unlike some other shows, there is no premium to be paid for special positions. It's a simple matter of first come, first served. And remember that many stands can also be altered in size to suit your requirements and budget – please ask.
