Anyone thinking of going up? Im booked in for the weekend myself Saturday and Sunday.

Dive Ireland International Expo - Hodson Bay Hotel, Athlone, 5th and 6th of March 2016.

Since the dawn of time (around the 1960s) the Irish underwater council have hosted their AGM every year around the country. Since this time dive shops have jumped on board to show off their new dive gear to the large number of divers present from all over the country.

This has grown to the international dive show attracting Suppliers and exhibitors from all over Europe and further afield.

Each year this dive expo has grown on support of the large numbers of divers and snorkelers attending the show year on year.

The expo has each year:
The Annual General Meeting of the Irish Underwater Council.
Extensive Trade show and exhibitions.
International and Local Speakers on Marine based interest.
Diving and Training Officers Conference.
