Dive Deeper: 12th March 2026
Dive into an evening of Ocean Discovery:
Join us for a fascinating night of stories from the hidden life found on our shorelines, the icy waters of the Antarctic through to real world conservation. Three brilliant marine experts take the stage to reveal all!
Marine Ecologists, Engineers and Rockpools – Making Sea Defences Wildlife Friendly
Dr Sue Hull, Senior Lecturer in Marine Ecology, University of Hull
Explore how we can help to conserve Britains shallow water marine life and protect our coastal assets by making small modifications to our engineering projects. We show how different solutions work in different habitats on our coast and how a partnership between local councils, engineers and ecologists can come up with the best ways of modifying structures to enhance diversity.
How to Save the World – Conservation for Everyone
Dr Robert Bullock, Head of Conservation, The Deep
In the midst of scary and daunting messages about how our planet is in crisis, we explore the powerful, hopeful truth that conservation does work—and that everyone can play a part. Drawing on my own experiences, from sharks in the Bahamas to turtles in the Seychelles and everything in-between, I explore real-world success stories, practical examples, and inspiring insights. Meaningful change is already happening, and collective action can drive a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
Sleepy Antarctic Krill
Dr Magnus Johnson, Senior Lecturer in Environmental Marine Science
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are the iconic keystone species in the South Atlantic. They are the species that almost everything else eats - penguins, seals, fish and cetaceans. As such, understanding how they work is incredibly important. However, as they live in frigid inaccessible waters we've had to come up with imaginative ways to understand the behaviours of individual animals. We cannot learn everything from sonar and net surveys. This is the story of an adventure to the subantarctic waters around South Georgia where Magnus and Professor Geraint Tarling of the British Antarctic Survey risked ridicule and suffered patronising smiles, only to return with one of those almost serendipitous findings that garnered worldwide attention and highlighted just how important these animals are.
Whether you’re an ocean lover, a budding scientist, or simply curious, Dive Deeper promises to be an evening packed full of insight and wonder.
Tickets
Tickets are just £8 per person, the bar will be open and serving a range of draft beers, wines, soft/hot drinks and snacks.
During the evening there will also be an opportunity to browse and purchase a range of eco-friendly and sustainable products from our gift shop, The Deepartment Store. From reusable water bottles and tote bags to adoption packs, notebooks, pens and our exclusive penguin band keyrings!
