Support for MCS at DIVE 2012

The company is inviting visitors to the Birmingham Dive Show to take the Go-Dive Challenge to catch as many swirling tokens as possible to win hundreds of diving-related prizes.

Valued at £10,000 over the weekend, these include equipment from Apeks, AquaLung, Beuchat, Bodyglove, Bonica, Scubapro, Seac and Sherwood.

Proceeds from the Go-Dive Challenge will be donated to MCS in support of its ongoing initiatives to protect the marine life and habitats that make UK dive sites so special.

The UK's biggest annual event for divers of all experience levels as well as newcomers to the sport, DIVE 2012 will play host to around 300 exhibitors and will feature many special attractions. These include two in-hall diving pools, the New Products Showcase, Caribbean Village, Asia-Pacific Showcase, British Isles Experience, 3D NoTanx Freedive Simulator and the new-look PhotoZone.

Speakers appearing on the main DIVER and Concourse Stages include Andy Torbet, Monty Halls, Paul Rose, deep-wreck divers Mark Dixon and Jeff Cornish, and Titanic explorer Rory Golden.

The show's PADI Village will feature attractions including a special seminar area, and BSAC will have a strong presence with not only its main club stand but also a series of BSAC Pods run by local branches and a new Kidz Zone.
