Go Diving Show

At the Go Diving Show you can see dive equipment, holiday destinations and training in one place over two days at NAEC Stoneleigh near Kenilworth. The organiser says the show covers about 10,000 square metres, for divers from novices to experienced. It is a two-day scuba diving show for the public, run by the diving publisher Rork Media, which also runs Go Diving Show editions in Sydney and in the United States.
