Excitement is starting to build in the technical diving world for the next OZTek, which will take place at the Australian Technology Park in Sydney on the 18th and 19th March 2017.

OZTek is a genuinely awe-inspiring weekend of talks, films, debate and laughter with diving’s international A-list – minus any red carpet barotrauma and elitism.

If you are interested in adventure, exploration, excitement, new technology and listening to amazing feats of daring – OZTek will not disappoint.

The action-packed weekend includes:

• Real-life adventure & exploration told by those who succeeded and survived. Rub shoulders, literally, with remarkably accomplished, brave, intelligent and passionate boundary-pushers. Established since 1999, OZTek is the gathering place for the world’s extreme divers to showcase their adventures and promote the gear that got them there.

• A full-scale dive exhibition. OZTek showcases the equipment and training techniques designed to keep you safely below the surface for as long as possible. Be it warmer wetsuits, better buoyancy control skills, more streamlined BCs, redundant instruments, careful dive planning or gases mixed to stage more efficient decompression. Touch, feel and ask the experts questions. Everything divers require; from cameras to compressors, regulators to rebreathers, snorkels to scooters, face masks to fins. Big or little – it’ll be on display.

• Dive travel to take your breath away and soar the spirit. Discover your next travel destination with liveaboards, resorts and awesome dive sites waiting to be unearthed.
• Dive Training.  Dive training is the wave you’ll want to ride after the OZTek experience. Chat with those who invented technical & recreational dive training. Sign up with the best instructors in the field. Just come & find out more – no pressure, just curiosity! Debunk those ‘tekkie’ myths for yourself and get excited about what’s possible.

• Underwater Photography – Unbelievable, amazing, brilliant, awesome images on display from world class photographers, as well as the winners of the OZTek2017 Underwater Imagery competition (to be announced later this year).

• OZTek2017 Gala Dinner at The Aerial Centre UTS. This exciting inner city event, with scenic views across the City and the ANZAC bridge, completes the weekend. A ticketed event including a magnificent meal, unlimited beers, wines and soft drinks, guest speakers and the presentation of the OZTek2017 Awards (nominations will be called for in early 2016).  Relax, socialise and unwind –  the perfect finish to a memorable weekend.

Already attracting strong interest from exhibitors keen to tap into a quality audience of passionate and dedicated divers with a proven willingness to invest in equipment and travel, OZTek2017 offers an inspirational journey into the entire world of diving adventure and excitement.
