Event List

The Society and its public offshoot, The Diving Museum, offer a wide variety of meetings, events, talks and rallies each year. From lectures on both topical and historical aspect of diving, to demonstrations of diving equipment (including the potential to ‘have a go’), there is something for every diving enthusiast. Our aim is to make our events both enjoyable and informative and we encourage participation.
