Diving instructor and tour leader Holly Wakely will be on the ANZ / Inspiration Stage at the GO Diving Show ANZ in September, continuing her mission to inspire more people to get into diving.
At the age of 21, Holly has already completed over 2,000 dives and is a PADI Course Director. But her journey started much earlier, at the age of four, when she first discovered her love for the underwater world. Her passion led her to pilot the PADI Junior Divemaster programme. Holly now loves to teach diving of all levels, especially to kids.
Holly’s deep love for diving extends beyond teaching. She co-runs the Blue Horizon Diving YouTube channel, sharing diving adventures and tips for everyone. Holly also organises and leads diving trips all over the world.
She loves to share her passion with others however she sees fit. She aims to get more people into the diving community, including kids passionate about the ocean!
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.

There is plenty of parking on-site and the venue is easy to get to with plenty of transport options, so get the dates in your diary now and prepare for an epic weekend celebrating all forms of diving.
