Taking place over the weekend of 31 March/1 April at London's ExCeL, the show will boast a new-look Dive Gear Showcase. Bigger than previously, this special feature will enable visitors to get an equipment overview before taking a turn around the many manufacturer, distributor and retailer stands.
Meanwhile, the LIDS 2012 British Isles Experience will bring together dive centres and skippers from all over the country, with tempting ideas for UK summer diving. The expanded Asia-Pacific Showcase area will also be of major interest. And the Caribbean Village and Red Sea Zone will highlight diving opportunities in these popular areas.
Dive training advice will, of course, be plentiful at the show, particularly in the PADI Village and in the expanded British Sub Aqua Club area, where the club will be supported by special 'pods' dedicated to a range of its branches in London and the south-east.
LIDS 2012 will also feature top diving speakers including Monty Hall, Paul Rose, deep-wreck diver Mark Dixon and Titanic expert Rory Golden, plus attractions like the PhotoZone, the 3D Free-Dive Simulator, the Try Dive Pool and the Technical Pool.
And every LIDS 2012 visitor will also have the chance to enter a free draw to win an amazing prize. For a two-week dive trip to Cuba worth £7500 is being given away over the weekend by The Scuba Place.
Tickets for LIDS 2012 booked in advance cost just £8.50 a head instead of £11.50 on the door. And there are group-booking offers for six or more people that work out even cheaper at just £7.50 a head - a 35% saving. Children under 14 go free.
