Conservation Partners
The London Aquarium welcomes partnerships with organisations who are keen to promote the sustainable use of the Earth’s natural resources. Partnerships of this kind are presented to over 750,000 visitors every year.
Historical Dive Society
The aim of The Historical Diving Society is to protect and preserve diving heritage and maintain the equipment in a usable form. The Society encourages the publication of articles of historical diving interest, and produces its own journal, "Historical Diving Times", which is available to members.
The Dive Society visits the London Aquarium throughout the year and demonstrates spectacular dives using classic diving equipment. They also display suits and helmets that were once in use in the past, which you will find hard to believe, since they are so heavy!
