A new BBC series, Britain’s Secret Seas, is set to be aired on prime time BBC2 from the 8th May.

With BSAC members involved in the programme, including presenter and expedition leader Paul Rose, Britain’s Secret Seas is a fantastic way to show non divers – and potential new BSAC members – just what we have on our own UK doorstep.

This stunning four-part series travels around the UK coastline from north to west, focusing on the diverse marine world we have around our own coastline, with many of the locations featured well-known to many of our divers.

Due for transmission on Sunday 8th May at 8pm on BBC2, the series has taken the ‘Top Gear’ slot and is expected to have a high audience. (The transmission date is subject to change but we will notify you if it does).

BSAC will be working to drive as many leads as we can to our branches as we are expecting the series to inspire viewers to take up scuba diving.

We have also been getting in touch with our clubs with ideas on how to make the most of this opportunity locally.

Meanwhile, please put the 8th May in your diaries and pass on the programme’s details to your fellow branch members, friends, family and work colleagues.

Why not email this on to your address book so your friends and colleagues will be able to see what you get up to in your spare time? They may even want to join you one day!

This series is a really exciting opportunity to encourage more people to dive Britain with BSAC so please help us to share this secret!
