The well-known and respected Australia International Dive Expo (AIDE) will join in this year's Sydney International Boat Show. This gives the diving sector the opportunity to be part of Australia's largest boating event, and is an added bonus to SIBS visitors.

“We are excited to incorporate this new element into the show. The demand for a diving expo has been growing for years” says Domenic Genua from the BIA. “We look forward to growing the expo as a part of the Sydney International Boat Show”.

We also bring you John Curnow's article on Poppy Moore who intends to sail around Australia to raise awareness of Parkinson's disease. It's a very sad way to begin such a great voyage. Not that you would know from the ultra-effervescent Poppy Moore, mind you. So the chance to talk with her and learn her tale was fantastic, and she is also the best one to recount it.
