Always hankered to give scuba diving a go? Well now you can – book your free trydive session at the GO Diving Show ANZ over the weekend of 28-29 September here.
Existing warm-water-loving divers have also got the opportunity to try drysuit diving for the first time – discover the joys of diving dry, and open up a whole new raft of temperate diving destinations.
This annual event, taking place at the Sydney Showground at the Olympic Park, is aimed at showcasing the very best of our underwater world to everyone from raw novices who are either contemplating getting into diving, or have completed their entry-level courses, to advanced divers, right through to technical divers and veteran CCR divers.
There are an array of stages – the Main Stage, the Photo Stage, the Australia/New Zealand Stage, the Inspiration Stage and the Tech Stage – that will play host to dozens of speakers from around the world (including TV presenter, adventurer and author Steve Backshall, Hollywood stunt performer Liz Parkinson, Thai cave rescue Dr Richard Harris, cave-diving legend Jill Heinerth, and wreck supremo Pete Mesley), as well as a host of interactive features to suit young and old, from VR diving experiences, trydives, a demonstration pool, mermaids, and much more.
Surrounding the stages and features will be a broad range of exhibitors, from tourist boards and tour operators to resorts, liveaboards, training agencies, retailers, manufacturers, and conservation organisations.
The 2024 GO Diving Show UK, now in its fifth year, attracted more than 10,000 attendees over the weekend, and spanned an area of 10,000 sq m of exhibition space, and the Australia and New Zealand variant aspires to reaching this level in coming years.

There is plenty of parking on-site and the venue is easy to get to with plenty of transport options, so get the dates in your diary now and prepare for an epic weekend celebrating all forms of diving.
