    Look Fear in the Face for Endangered Species Day, with Regaldive


    In recognition of Endangered Species Day on 17th May, diving holiday specialist Regaldive is encouraging customers to take the opportunity, while they can, to dive with the worlds most endangered but incredible sharks. Now the most valuable and vulnerable species in the sea, the slaughter of sharks has risen 400% in just over 50 years. With 100 million being killed annually and a population being fished faster ...

    We are really excited about 2013. New opportunities, great new products, new customers and more fun. Last year we took our shop to a number of clubs, had a great time, met some fantastic people and we are extending this in 2013 with a 4th Element Road Show."

    The Dive Show in London is only 14 weeks away, on the 23rd and 24th of March. But it's a long way to go to get Dive Show prices, especially for clubs in the North. So as an alternative book us. We will come to your club night bring some of the latest kit the industry has to offer, if it's your pool night as well we can bring demo kit for you to trial yourselves. We'll have loads of Oceanic, Typhoon and Apeks Kit for you to drool over, and the new XTX shiny range for your

    We saw the new XTX200 for the first time at the Dive Show in Birmingham, and a very nice piece of kit it looks as well. But is this just a new front cover? A revamp of the old 200? Or are we in for a real treat and is this something entirely new?

    I've been lucky enough this year to attend DEMA in Las Vegas and I headed straight over the Apeks/ Aqualung stand to have a chat with the guys about the new reg.

    DiveLife was started in 2001 whilst Brett Thorpe, the owner, was arranging trips and needed somewhere to put pictures and videos for people to view. Remember, Facebook and forums didn't exist then. When Brett decided to move on and live in Lancashire he decided that the area lacked a comprehensive diving facility and set out to create one.

    With a philosophy of never saying no, the business grew over the following three years until new premises were needed. The current 5000sq ft premises were occupied on 9th September 2009 and DiveLife's growth has continued ever since, even given the tough economic times.

    DiveLife provides equipment from 172 manufacturers from all over the globe. We are recognised a both recreational and technical specialists with diverse areas such as rebreathers, technical cave and photo video specialists working with and for DiveLife, we can truly offer a one stop shop.

    Visitors to this year’s Birmingham Dive Show will find things done a little differently to previous shows. By popular demand over recent years there have been more interactive experiences within the hall itself, and at DIVE 2012 this process will be taken a step further with the introduction of the DIVER Stage. This will allow many of the main guest-speaker presentations to take place closer to the exhibition space.


    Combine these talks with what promises to be a packed programme of presentations in the PhotoZone and the PADI Village, and breath-hold, rebreather and entry-level experiences in the two pools, and this year’s Show promises to be livelier than ever.
    And don’t forget that, once you’ve bought your ticket, all the attractions at DIVE 2012 are free!
