2025 Kernow Dive Festival – 6th – 8th June 2025
Join us for the 23rd Anniversary of the Kernow Dive Fest!
The 2025 Kernow Dive Festival will be the 23rd anniversary of the festival
It all kicks off during the evening of Friday 6th June with the diving on 7th & 8th June.
Some clubs always plan to come early and start diving on the previous Wednesday!
Speak to your club Diving Officer or trip organiser and get them to get in touch if you’re interested in participating.
Make a week of it?
Some clubs make a week of it and come down early or arrive late. There is plenty of diving to be had, and with an RIB, a number of launching options within an hour’s drive can open up some exciting alternate dive options.
The Diving
Club RIBs go to pre-marked sites, launching early on Saturday, 7th, June, at Penzance Harbour, and we have a great time diving! Everything is organised according to the dive selections you make on your booking forms. Saturday evening, we have a massive BBQ organised by one of the local clubs, and then we have fundraising raffles and auctions!
What does it cost? £32.50 per head for the whole weekend, with all profits going to DDRC, the hyperbaric chamber in the southwest.
What does this cover? Your diving and your BBQ! Fuel is reimbursed for all club boats used at the festival on Saturday and Sunday, the costs of the BBQ and our minimal organisational expenses – the whole event is run by volunteers, and no one takes a wage! Over the last 20 odd years, we have raised over £61,000 for DDRC. Our main emphasis is to have a great time and meet all our friends and dive buddies again!
Safety. All diving is planned within the BSAC Safe Diving Guidelines – Your dive choic
es must be within your qualification and experience, and this is confirmed on the booking form by your own branch diving officer.
