Past Events
What's been said about past OZTek events
"Thanks to you for organising such a grand event followed by an even grander gala dinner. I enjoyed the show immensely & had a fantastic time at the gala dinner."
"After spending the day at Oztek today, I have to say, in my humble opinion, it's the best yet!"
"It was, in my opinion, the best OZTek to date and a sterling reflection on the diversity and success of the diving industry ... I would personally like to thank you for everything you have done to make this show such a resoundingly positive focal point for diving in Australia and for the high regard it has given the Australian Dive Community in the Global arena."
"I was overwhelmed by the amount of divers coming in, for the two days. I was not able to get away from the stand for more than a couple of minutes."
"It was everything and more than we expected. We brought over a small group from Perth, and we hope to bring a much bigger group next time."
"What an amazing event. .... We were amazed at such a result - far exceeding our expectations. ... Your hard work was evident in the way the stands were organised, along with three and four presentations running simultaneously; all without a hitch. (Or if there were, they were not evident.)"
"OZTek is looked upon as something very special and the place to be and rub shoulders and share adventures with other divers around the world. This is now the best conference for diving on earth and the only one of its kind."
"In my professional life, I have the opportunity to participate in and attend conferences in a range of subjects in USA, Europe UK Asia China and here. OZTek was genuinely of world standard in pretty much every way. The speakers were better than all other conferences I have attended, and the venue was great."
"In a word ... awesome!"
"Many thanks for a great OZTek, it was as usual fantastic, and we are already looking forward to the next one."
"I'd like to pass on a big 'Thank you' to the Event Organiser for putting on another world-class dive exhibition."
"The only problem with Oztek is there are simply too many people and talks to keep up with!"
"Biggest and Best OZTek ever, I just can't get over how busy this year was to previous years."
"Your show has a very different feeling from a lot of other dive trade/consumer shows I have attended. Keep up the great work."
"What an excellent weekend. It certainly opened my eyes a lot about the sort of diving that I am just starting to get into."
"The speakers were top-notch."
"So much change now in diving equipment i think CCR is the future of diving. Looking forward to the next event."
"Once AGAIN you and your team have blown our socks off! It was just the BEST!"
"The event was .....as usual...... AWESOME!"
"This is going to be an exciting event, just when I thought you couldn’t possibly lift the bar anymore you have. Well done Sue Crowe and team, myself and Andrew Fox will be there. 👍🦈"
"Thanks for an incredible weekend, way above my expectations. Gorgeous venue, professional, no-drama organization, positive, energizing industry snapshot, inspirational diving experts attracting an appreciative public ... and kick-ass fun. When is the next one?"
"Congratulations on yet another great Oztek! I had a great time, catching up with friends, seeing some new gear, and hearing some wonderful speakers..."
"The new venue looks superb and the move will certainly help re-invigorate what has grown to become a leading world-class event. 🙂"
"Just wanted to let you know that I thought this year's conference was the best to date. I really enjoyed the presentations and the presenters' candid discussions. There were a good variety of topics and the larger rooms certainly made it a comfortable experience."
"The show to be in! Look forward to the next!"
"Fantastic event, well done to you and your team for flawlessly executing a large and varied programme."

"Great job Sue and team! Great venue, great organisation and fantastic time and get together! Keep it going please, looking forward to the next one!"
"How awesome were the OZTEKS! Next year we need a bar!"
"Thank you for the opportunity to speak, Sue! Being part of such a group was a privilege!!!"
"Australia’s dive show for over 20 years."
"Outstanding weekend!!! Well done Sue and team! Can't wait for next year"
"Thanks to Sue Crowe & the organising Team. We had an awesome time with our inspiring community of like minded friends & colleagues. What chance of getting a Hi- res copy of the group photo ?? Cheers & Thanks Again!"
"Most important dive show in Australasia. Come for the exhibitors. Stay for the seminars."
"My third OZTec, and as always it delivered. This is the premier tech diving conference in Oz. Fantastic speakers and presentations, there is always something to learn during this conference. Granted, it was the first time at a new venue so there were some minor technical difficulties but I'm sure these lessons learned will be applied and make the 2019 OZTec even better. And Major Kudos to the event coordinators for the work that was done to pull this conference off after losing the previous venue with practically no warning. The exhibitors area was significantly larger which may have caught some exhibitors a little off guard and the venue change may also have kept some away. But it is a much better exhibitors area layout than the previous venue. I'm looking forward to the 2019 Conference in this new venue!"
"Great bunch of peeps .. Good to be among some diving greats ... Fabulous event 🙂
"Oztek exceed my expectations by far. The show was well organised, the range of speakers was fantastic covering so many topics with quality guest speakers. Equally the quantity and enthusiasm of the exhibitors made for an excellent Exhibition. I look forward to next years."
"Fantastic time! Thank you!"
"Excellent organizing, quality products, huge event!"
"This is the birthplace of Technical Diver Conferences. It is the epicentre of all Diver Exploration that is going on in the southern hemisphere. I couldn't recommend attending this conference enough. Its also where the worlds leading technical divers, instructors and manufacturers converge. You would be mad to miss it!"
"It's great to see more women there in the speakers line up 🙂"
"Sue pulls together a great conference right mix of experts and kit."
