Sustainable tourism advocate and industry expert Roni Ben-Ahron will be on the Inspiration Stage at the GO Diving Show ANZ in September showcasing the incredible diversity of the Philippines.
Escaping the topside corporate world to the deep, Roni has spent the past 15 years in the dive tourism industry. Having worked in six countries, in both operational and sales and marketing roles, she fell in love with Asia-Pacific diving. She says ‘It is where the diversity and colours warm the heart and shine as a beacon as to how the ocean should look like’. Her goal is to promote sustainable dive tourism practices that involve divers around the world.
Her talk on the Inspiration Stage will be:

The GO Diving Show ANZ
This annual event, taking place this year on 28-29 September 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, as well as a host of interactive features to suit young and old, from VR diving experiences, trydives, a demonstration pool, 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.
