Swedish exploration diver and technical instructor Tiffany Norberg will be discussing the discovery of World War One and World War Two wrecks in the Gulf of Finland when she takes to the Tech Stage at the GO Diving Show in March.
Tiffany began diving in 2004, where she fell in love with life underwater, especially in the colder regions round Scandinavia where she predominately dives. Her big passion is wrecks in the Baltic Sea and Norway, as well as flooded mines in the region.
She was invited, in 2015, to join the Finnish wreck exploration team Badewanne, who search, dive and document historically significant wrecks in the eastern Baltic Sea and publish their findings in scientific journals and the new book, Fog of War.
With many years of experience in cold water diving and exploration all around the Nordic region, she is one of the top divers in Scandinavia, regularly presenting both the diving projects she works with and teaching JJ-CCR and technical diving courses.
For hundreds of years, the Baltic Sea has been a vital in the maritime trade of Northern Europe and an area of extensive naval conflict in that time, resulting in thousands of lost vessels. Due to the conditions many of these are preserved in a state that they were sunk and offer insight into the stories and histories of their time.
Badewanne are a team of dedicated wreck explorers that, for the last 25 years, have discovered these lost vessels, documenting them and bringing their stories to share with the world. Tiffany's presentation will give an insight into recent work on significant World War One and World War Two wrecks in the Gulf of Finland.
The GO Diving Show
The GO Diving Show – the only consumer dive and travel show in the UK – returns to the NAEC Stoneleigh on 1-2 March 2025, just in time to kick off the new season, and promises a weekend full of interactive, educational, inspirational and fun content.
As well as the Main Stage – this time headlined by TV star, author and adventurer Steve Backshall, making a welcome return to the GO Diving Show after a few years away, along with NASA-trained NEEMO Aquanaut and Head of Scientific Research at DEEP Dawn Kernagis, fellow TV presenter, author and perennial favourite Monty Halls, Dr Timmy Gambin, who will be discussing Malta's rich maritime and wartime heritage, and the dynamic duo of explorers Rannva Joermundsson and Maria Bollerup, who will be talking about their recent Expedition Buteng in Indonesia – there are again dedicated stages for UK diving, technical diving, underwater photography and inspirational tales. Andy Torbet will be MCing the Main Stage once again, as well as giving a presentation on the challenges of shooting technical diving for TV shows.
Along with the stages, there are a host of interactive elements – the ever-popular Cave, the giant trydive pool, the immersive virtual reality tech-wreck dive, breath-hold workshops and lining-out drills and, new for 2025, your chance to try your hand at wreck mapping with the Nautical Archaeology Society and their ‘shipwreck' – all scattered among an ever-increasing array of stands from tourist boards, manufacturers, training agencies, resorts, liveaboards, dive centres, retailers and much more.
This year also sees the NoTanx Zero2Hero competition taking centre-stage. This competition, aimed at newbie freedivers, will see an initial 12 candidates undergo training with Marcus Greatwood and the NoTanx team in London in late-February.
