Who knows, you might even spot him trying his hand at dinghy sailing, powerboating, or paddleboarding!
Feeling inspired? You too can take to the water and give it a go!

At 3:30 PM, Rob will step onto the Foredeck Stage for a lively chat about his experience at the show, his diving adventures, and, of course, his highlights from the day. With his signature blend of humour and insight, Rob will reveal the show favourites that have captured his attention.
The event wraps up with Rob presenting the ‘Stand Out Awards’, recognising the exhibitors who stood out and caught Rob’s eye. You won't want to miss the moment when Rob reveals his winners and hands over the coveted awards live on stage! There's still time to get your tickets!
