The March 2009 Oztek show in Sydney was a great success with many excellent exhibitors, presentations and diving identitites involved.  Special mention should go to Dive 2000 regulars Kathy & Peter Cave who were successful in the photo competition with some outstanding images.

Dive 2000 also had a exhibition booth at the event showcasing our underwater photograph offerings of equipment, training and travel.  As part of our involvement we had a prize draw with the winner of the new Olympus Mju 8000 Tough camera & housing being Anthony Trovatello from Epping VIC.  The prize was drawn by Jean Deas, one of Australia's famous pioneering divers who together with her late husband, Walt, produced many underwater documentaries. Thanks to our sponsors for the draw Performance Sports Scuba.
Congratulations Anthony!
