Technical diving conference Guz.Tech returns for its third edition on Saturday 28 November 2026 at the Roland Levinsky Building, University of Plymouth.
Taking its name from the old naval nickname for Plymouth, Guz.Tech brings together wreck explorers, cave divers, scientists and equipment developers for a single-day programme spanning the breadth of technical diving – from 1908 destroyers on the bed of the English Channel to flooded chambers in southern Africa.
Fran Hockley, one of the Guz.Tech organisers, said: “This is our third year of Guz.Tech, and each conference we try to put together a programme that has something for everyone.
