Diving the Queensland Coast
Terry will take you on a photo journey from the southern border of Queensland to the far north and include the magnificent diving found on Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. He will also address and take questions on the negative perceptions that wrongly exists in some media about the condition of the Great Barrier Reef, while highlighting the unique services provided to visiting divers by Dive Queensland members.
The GO Diving Show ANZ

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, mermaids, and much more.
