First British man to dive to the Titanic hosts sessions at London exhibition
The first British diver to reach the Titanic wreck will give 90-minute lectures and Q&A sessions for Expert Pass holders.
Dik Barton is appearing at Titanic Exhibition London, delivering a series of 90-minute Expert Pass lectures at Olympia London in Kensington. The event offers a limited opportunity to meet the explorer.
With 22 dives completed, Barton has descended almost two and a half miles into the North Atlantic. The first British man to dive to the wreck played a leading role in recovering more than 5,500 artefacts from the site.
Purchasing the exhibition's Expert Pass provides admission, an exclusive lecture with Barton, and a live question-and-answer session. The package includes a meet-and-greet opportunity and a complimentary guidebook.
Tom Rudderham, founder and director of White Star Heritage, described the sessions as "a rare opportunity that history enthusiasts simply won't want to miss." He noted Barton's first-hand knowledge of the wreck is unparalleled.
Running until August 16, the exhibition remains open at Olympia London. This timeline limits visitor availability to see the artefacts and hear Barton's stories before the exhibition closes.
