Members from almost 50 BSAC clubs have registered to attend the 2024 NW Dive Fest at Capernwray on Friday 27th September - with places still available!
Last year's event was a hit, with more than 200 divers descending on the popular inland dive site to join in the fun. Now rebranded as the NW Dive Fest the 2024 event promises to be bigger and better.
It's also open to all qualified divers, regardless of training background. So scuba divers trained by PADI, CMAS, SSI, Raid, or any other scuba agency are all welcome to join the party on Friday 27th September 2024 and experience BSAC diving and our community for themselves.
Proceeds from the event will be going to NW Air Ambulance, who will be present on the day.
Book a rebreather experience session
The last few spaces are still available on a Try Tech session, using either an AP Diving or Divesoft Liberty rebreather. Book a place now and experience the underwater world as never before: bubble-free, and under the expert tuition of a Technical Instructor.
Or try one of these...
Try something new, or just splash in and have fun with friends in the clear waters of Capernwray:
- Underwater photo competition: show off your photography skills and capture the magic beneath the waves
- Treasure hunt: Dive into an underwater adventure and see what treasures you can find!
- Scooter sessions: Experience the thrill of underwater scooters
- Socialise: meet NW BSAC clubs and divers
All this fun will be accompanied by tunes from DJ Coshe, keeping the energy high all day long!
Raffle with top prizes
Attendees can buy tickets for entry into the raffle to win a set of Apeks Ocea XL4 regs, as well as a tour of the Apeks factory. Don't miss this chance to visit one of the UK's prime dive manufacturing sites, a money-can't-buy experience!
Networking opportunity with friends
New for 2024 is the Club Zone where members from BSAC clubs in the northwest region and beyond can come together to socialise, swap stories and ideas, and catch up. It's a chance for us all to get together, and for non-BSAC divers to see how the BSAC community operates and supports each other through our mutual love of diving.
Top sponsors and supporters
We're proud to announce that Sea&Sea plus conservation charity Seasearch will now be attending, alongside other big dive industry names Apeks, Northern Diver, Dive Manchester, and the NW Underwater Police Search team. The event is also kindly supported by AP Diving and Fourth Element.
