Dive Shows and events

Returning for its 2026 edition from 5-7 June at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur, MIDE aims to deliver its most ambitious and dynamic showcase yet—bringing together dive professionals, ocean advocates, newcomers and world-leading brands in a single, vibrant venue.

The anniversary edition of the show is themed “Forged by the Ocean—Two Decades of Passion, Purpose and Protection,” reflecting MIDE’s commitment to celebrating the passion for diving and ocean adventures; serving as a platform to connect, empower and develop the dive industry regionally and globally; and promoting marine conservation, sustainability and ocean health.

The upcoming expo is expected to attract an even more diverse and expanded audience—from avid divers and marine tourism operators to water sports and boating enthusiasts, ocean-minded consumers and conservationists—all assembling for three lively days of business, discovery and connection

International exhibitors and sponsors invited

Registration is now open for exhibitors and sponsors to take part in MIDE, which offers unmatched visibility, valuable sales opportunities and direct access to an enthusiastic international audience of divers and ocean lovers. Booking early is recommended to secure premium booth spaces. Contact: info@mide.com.my or visit: mide.com.my. Get the latest updates at @MIDEEXPO on Facebook and Instagram.

The organizer

With over two decades of experience in producing award-winning trade and consumer events, the seasoned event organizer, AsiaEvents Exsic (AEE), has positioned MIDE as a globally recognized marine expo and a driving force supporting Malaysia’s diving and marine leisure industries.
