Episode 232 Scoobs Snorkel Fest 2026

In this episode of The BiG Scuba Podcast, Gemma and Ian head to Scoobs Snorkel Fest 2026 at Divers Time, West Lake, Long Eaton, for a fantastic day celebrating snorkeling, scuba diving and the incredible UK diving community. From meeting fellow divers and exploring the lakeside festival atmosphere to taking to the water themselves, this is a fun, behind-the-scenes look at one of the UK's growing dive events. The episode features an entertaining conversation with adventurer Andy Torbet, fresh from his spectacular skydive into the lake, as he shares his passion for adventure, cave diving, fitness and why snorkeling is the perfect introduction to the underwater world. We also catch up with the Divers Time team to hear how the event came together and why creating opportunities for people to experience diving is so important for the future of the sport. Along the way, we discuss the latest diving news, celebrate achievements within the diving community, and reflect on another memorable day spent connecting with divers of all ages and experience levels. Whether you are already a diver, a keen snorkeler or simply curious about exploring beneath the surface, this episode is packed with inspiration and a reminder of why we love the ocean and the amazing community that surrounds it.
