47th Annual Oceans Exposition, Dive and Adventure Travel Show

Beneath The Sea

Recently, some of our clients have informed us that they have been told Beneath the Sea will not be hosting an exposition this year. Should you get such a phone call, or hear such a rumor, that Beneath the Sea will not be in place for its 47th season, it’s only our  competition taking pot-shots at us.

For the past 46 years, Beneath the Sea has provided the local dive community with the best in diving education, the latest equipment, and intimate travel information from dive resorts around the world.

On Friday 29 Jan and only a few hours apart, we received similar updates from the organisers of the New Jersey-based Beneath the Seas dive show and the Swedish Dive Show, Dykmässen, which in recent years have been taken place in Gothenburg in the Swedish West coast. Both announced that they will be postponing their respective events until next year due to the restrictions being imposed because of the pandemic.
