The GO Diving Show returns to the NAEC on 28 February – 1 March 2026 and promises a captivating blend of top-class speakers, interactive displays and demonstrations, as well as hundreds of exhibitors from around the world showcasing dive resorts, liveaboards, destinations, equipment, training and much more.
Keynote speakers this year on the Main Stage include TV presenters, explorers and adventurers Steve Backshall and Lizzie Daly, and commercial diver and ‘star’ of Hollywood blockbuster Last Breath, Chris Lemons, while all-round Action Man and stunt performer Andy Torbet will once again be MCing. There are also dedicated stages for technical diving, underwater photography, and celebrating the diving on offer around the UK, and these are hosting a rich and diverse range of speakers who will be presenting on a wide selection of topics.
Interactive elements include VR dives on a deep shipwreck, the popular try dive pool (where newbies can have their first taste of scuba, and those who are qualified can have a go on side mount), hand’s-on wreck surveying with the Nautical Archaeology Society, citizen science with Just One Ocean, and new for 2026, demonstrations and workshops with the team from Imperial College London.
