OZTek7 in Sydney 17-18 March

OZTek7 kicks off in Sydney, Australia, on March 17. The two day technical diving conference and exhibition has almost every technical dive gear manufacturer in the industry showcasing their latest and greatest innovations, and more distinguished speakers than you could ever shake a stick at!

At the last OZTek, I found that there wasn't enough time in the day to visit all the exhibitors stands and attend the many seminars/workshops. Careful planning is required to avoid disappointment. There was a workshop held by Simon Mitchell that turned out to be so popular that the organisers, Richard Taylor and David Strike, had to quickly amend the programme to try and fit in another workshop session to appease the masses that never managed to squeeze into the first workshop.

Pete Mesley is going to do a presentation on his and Simon Mitchell's recent dive on the Port Kembla. Simon Mitchell is presenting a seminar on "Prevention of decompression sickness for technical divers in the 21st century" and holding a workshop session titled "Respiratory physiology at extreme depth: Lessons from the Dave Shaw accident that deep divers should understand".
