Comments on OZTeK'09

One of the finest organized diving events I have ever attended.

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.

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.)

I sit through a pile of medical conferences all over the world, and was very impressed by the professional approach of OZTeK.

The trade shows, presentations and dinner were first class and highly appreciated by everyone I have spoken to. I must admit that with the current financial issues, I thought that attendance would be down, however this seems to not be the case./p>

It was everything and more than we expected.

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.

Great event, Strikey, congratulations on such a good mix of educationand entertainment.

I just wanted to say fantastically well done for OzTek - it was awesome and far exceeded my expectations. People are still buzzing!!

It was a roaring success and I can't wait until the next one!

After spending the day at Oztek today, I have to say, in my humble opinion, it's the best yet!

... Great Seminars, Speakers, big-screen footage and Stalls catering to proof that Diving is in a Golden Era since at least 1990.

This would rate as one of the best shows I have been to in terms of exhibitors, attendance and certainly the quality of speakers.

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.

Again another quality event which people globally will be talking about for ages to come.

"Without doubt the best show that I speak at is the OZTeK Conference in Sydney … a world leader in such conferences." - Leigh Bishop."

"Few shows in the world can pack a punch quite like Australia's OZTeK."

"Superb show, superb speakers, superb gala dinner, great mates, awesome atmosphere and impeccably done. Again, Congratulations. I was proud to be associated with such an event."

" … another exceptional OZTek - this is what dive shows should be like. It was a fabulous weekend, with great friends, old and new."

Events like OZTek are important to help keeping the industry moving forward. "

"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 a word..... awesome!"

"There was an amazing level of information being presented, from the good old chats about looking for things while diving, through very competent and thorough presentations of various rebreathers, to detailed lectures on dive physiology/oxygen, plus lots of toys to drool over! Bring on the next one!"

"What an effort! Smooth, seamless running, great speakers, interesting exhibition, and a great opportunity to catch up with anyone and everyone. Anyone who missed it, my sincere condolences."

"Great effort guys! Excellent speakers & presentations and lots to look at and add to the wish list. A very enjoyable two days."

"A great two days of listening, watching, learning and catching up. I'm sure I wasn't the only one that came away with a longer list of places to go and diving to be done."

"The only problem with Oztek is there are simply too many people and talks to keep up with! Congrats guys on another great event. I thought the inclusion of the Rolex scholarship to the Gala dinner was awesome too. Excellent that Rolex is doing this, and excellent that we could be part of it."

Comments on OZTeK4 (2005)

"… this dive show is the most professionally organized in every way that I have been involved with and that is quite a few."

"OZTeK4 was sensational. On which note I want to make a public note of thanks to the organisers for putting together an outstanding show, especially the speaker programme. More than once I was torn as to which one to go to and that's a sign of a quality speaker list."

"… a fantastic Oztek 4. Congratulations on a wonderful event, two days is never enough time, please remember for the next Oztek, I will happily support you in your endeavours … Bravo once again for a fantastic effort and roll on Oztek5. "

"Best dive show I have been to in a long time."

"I thought the show was the best that we have had in years."

"A great show packed with great speakers and tons of value. Well done. Sincere thanks for all your efforts and time expended."

"I was very impressed. Highlights: Just meeting lots of very interesting people. I got something out of every presentation that I went to. Several of those may even save my life."

"Not only was it a well-presented show but it was one of the busiest that I've done to date. … As an exhibitor I can definitely say that I'm in for 2006. Thanks again for the greatest Tech Show on earth."

"This show is truly the only one of its kind and the best in the world. Your efforts and energy in making it happen and grow is amazing."

"Well done to all involved... superb. I found the lectures inspiring and interesting, particularly the medical ones. Fantastic."

"What an excellent weekend. It certainly opened my eyes a lot about the sort of diving that I am just starting to get into."

"All I can say is anyone who didn't attend missed out on one of the best dive shows in existence."

"What a bloody great show. I was just commenting to a mate of mine how great it feels to be surrounded by fanatics! The weekend just made me want to get out as soon as possible and get into the water. "

"Just about everyone is talking about the tremendously successful OZTEK show, The Australasian Diving Technologies Conference. … if Sydney is anything to go by these shows are going to be to the new millennium what the Aquacorps shows were to the 90's.
