The show caters for many types of user, from sport diving and general leisure to racing and commercial marine operations. Boats will congregate on the pontoons at Cowes Yacht Haven, with stands ashore and on-water action including races and displays by the rescue services.
Well known names are joined by a number of new manufacturers. Of these, of possible interest to divers are British builders Breeze RIBs and, in the budget sector, Valke Marine; two Italian makes, Predator and Stingher; and Venezuelan builder Caribe.
Entry costs £4.50 per adult, with accompanied children entering free. Entry for unaccompanied children costs £2. Show details - RIB Exhibitions Ltd, 01884 266100, www.ribexhibitions.co.uk
