Sea Shepherd Australia is a marine conservation non-profit using direct action on the front line of the war against plastic pollution in the oceans; illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; destructive marine life management strategies; and other threats to the ocean ecosystem and its inhabitants.
Torrey Klett, Chapter Co-ordinator for Sea Shepherd Sydney, will be presenting on marine conservation issues facing Australia and the world today on the ANZ / Inspiration Stage at the GO Diving Show ANZ in September, and how we can effect meaningful change.
Torrey became impassioned to pursue marine conservation efforts following her tenure as a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer in Honduras. She believes that conservation is everyone's responsibility, and wants you to feel empowered to get involved and make a difference in protecting the oceans we love so dearly.
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, Bruce the rodeo shark, mermaids, 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.
