Scuba Santas

Scuba Diving Dressed As Santa Claus For Charity

- Sunday, 18th December 2011 - NDAC, Chepstow

Corporate Sponsorship 2010

Hello,

Scuba Santas is a world record holding mass participation scuba diving event held each year in the south west. The event has grown exponentially since it began four years ago and the momentum built up does not appear to be slowing. We support the RNLI and last year we achieved the following:
New world record with 158 divers in the water

  • Just under £10,000 raised for the RNLI
  • Coverage on national BBC radio, BBC local TV coverage, ITV local TV coverage, Radio Yorkshire
  • Articles in numerous newspapers and magazines
  • Growth as a spectator event with more people arriving on site to watch the gathering
  • Full support from the RNLI including press releases
  • Recognition by at least 2 world record agencies (still awaiting confirmation from others)

In efforts to cement the event in the dive calendar we are looking to build a brand around Scuba Santas which will help it to continually grow for several years ahead. In order to do this we would like to attract corporate sponsorship in return giving national exposure to the companies involved.

Ways of helping

There are two ways in which we would like companies to get involved:

  • Donate to our raffle. Prizes can be as large or small as you wish, there is no prize ordering a draw is made at random from all entrants.
  • Become one of our corporate sponsors. Please email for packages ranging between  £150 and £750. Corporate sponsors command a much bigger presence on the website

If you are interested in helping, but have other ideas of how your company could help we are willing to discuss these and make something happen!

…and in return

  • Linked content on the website
  • Thank you messages on twitter, facebook, and website
  • Thank you and link in Scuba Santa’s newsletter
  • Electronic certificate of appreciation to display at your place of business
  • Your brand/company name on an event memento (*depending on sponsorship level)
  • Main sponsors are mentioned on event day during greeting

The Scuba Santa’s website receives over 150 unique visits per day* in a period of 3 months around the event. The facebook page is currently receiving ~300 impressions per day even now, this grows massively closer to the event. Our twitter account gains followers each and every day (with lots of retweets also). * For 2009 event.

We are currently working with designers who are creating a consistent image for all of our sites.

Divers from all over the UK participate in Scuba Santas and have referred to it as “one of the best dives I have ever done “, we believe this along with a recognisable brand will keep the event, and with it your brand exposure, growing for some time to come. Non-divers also attend the event with friends and partners and there is a draw from the surrounding area for event viewing.
