Scuba Santas 2012 – Registration is now open
Friday, September 21st, 2012
Scuba Santas will be entering its 6th year in 2012 and continues going from strength to strength. Often quoted as the "best dive of the year" the event has raised thousands of pounds for crew training at the RNLI breaking its own world record several times over in the process.
Registration for the 2012 Scuba Santas event is now open >
Born out of the popular scuba diving forum Yorkshire Divers (or YD for short) the event started in 2007 with a group of 8 hardy divers heading out to do something a little different and raise some money for charity. The ethos behind Scuba Santas is to hold a fun christmas diving event that divers return to year after year. The charitable aspect is an important part of Scuba Santas and is great side-effect of people enjoying themselves.
We specifically donate funds to RNLI crew training as thanks for the great service that these people provide to the UK diving community. By slowly growing the event and tweaking the format we hope to achieve the most enjoyable event for the greatest number of divers. We’re always interested in feedback to help improve the event!
Over the past few years the event has started to attract corporate sponsorship leading to increased donations and goodie bags for attending divers.

Why not book a Wooden Wigwam, make a full weekend of it and go glamping in style. The wigwams are likely to get booked up quickly with this busy weekend, so book your wigwam early to avoid disappointment.
