Now in its 19th edition, MIDE continues to develop and grow as Southeast Asia’s leading dive expo, where “business meets passion and innovation meets preservation.” This year, the organisers are delving even deeper into their shared dedication to the underwater realm with this year’s theme, “Explore, Connect and Conserve the Ocean's Enigma,” featuring a range of topics such as women in diving, cave exploration, technical diving, freediving, adaptive diving, marine conservation and sustainability.

Much more than just another dive show, MIDE 2025 is a “platform for progress.” With over 200 participating dive-related businesses, including resorts, liveaboards, dive certification agencies, dive gear and underwater photo equipment manufacturers, as well as eco-initiative groups, visitors can get an in-depth look at the latest in dive technology, travel and training.

The expo’s community-first focus is what makes MIDE really special. Whether you are an experienced diver, a newcomer to the sport, or simply an inquisitive traveller, MIDE offers access to dive courses, networking with dive professionals, industry presentations, conservation discussions and special travel offers.

As global travel and exploration enters a new chapter, MIDE is poised to become Asia’s leading hub for underwater adventure. The show organisers extend a warm welcome to all visitors, saying, “Diving isn’t just a sport. It’s a lifestyle, a community and a movement for change.”
