A display of diving equipment and photographs of historical interest will also be on show. The Historical Diving Society was  founded in 1990 to research and increase awareness of the country’s rich diving history and heritage. Find out more at www.thehds.com.

New for 2006 is the ADC DiveWork Cup. This will be awarded to the winner of the DiveWork  Commercial Diver Time Trial which will take the form of a series of  underwater tasks to be completed in full view of  the assembled audience.

The cup will be presented to the fastest diver in a ceremony to take place before the event closes. It will be accompanied by a huge amount of promotion and publicity within all of the relevant media. Are you up for the challenge? If so, contact Roger O’kane on rokane@dircon.co.uk.
