ADEX OCEAN FESTIVAL Singapore

The ADEX OCEAN FESTIVAL is the leading trade fair for diving and underwater activities in the Asia-Pacific region. Since its inception in 1995, it has become a key meeting point for diving professionals, ocean enthusiasts, and industry businesses. Organized by Underwater360° (UW360), the expo attracts a global community of exhibitors, experts, and visitors each year to the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre—one of Asia’s most advanced exhibition venues, known for its state-of-the-art infrastructure and excellent accessibility. It serves as a prime platform for networking and commerce, particularly for providers of diving equipment, travel companies, dive schools, and research institutions.

As a trade fair with public access, ADEX caters to both industry professionals and interested enthusiasts. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the latest trends and innovations in areas such as diving equipment, dive destinations, underwater photography, technical diving, freediving, and marine biology and conservation. A strong focus is placed on ocean preservation, with ADEX actively advocating for sustainability and marine protection. Initiatives like "Voice of the Ocean" (VoO) provide scientists, activists, and photographers with a platform to present their projects aimed at safeguarding marine ecosystems.

Beyond an extensive range of products and services—including cutting-edge diving gear, underwater cameras, innovative diving technologies, and exclusive travel offers—the expo captivates visitors with an interactive program. Live demonstrations, workshops, film screenings, expert lectures, and panel discussions create opportunities for attendees to expand their knowledge and establish valuable connections. Hands-on experiences, such as dive simulators and underwater drones, offer a fascinating glimpse into the future of diving.

Although Singapore itself is not renowned for its dive sites, it is strategically located near some of the world's best diving destinations, including the coral reefs of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The expo serves as a central platform for travel providers and destinations to showcase their offerings to an international audience. At the same time, it strengthens Singapore’s role as a leading MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) destination. The city ranks among the world’s top exhibition and conference hubs, boasting modern event venues, a world-class airport, and an efficient public transport system.

Singapore is committed to sustainable development and eco-friendly initiatives—a vision that aligns perfectly with ADEX’s mission. The expo is not just about business; it also champions environmental responsibility. Programs such as the "Blue Green 360 Awards" and partnerships with marine conservation organizations underscore this commitment.

ADEX is more than just an expo—it is a movement that unites the diving community, shares knowledge, and highlights both the beauty and fragility of the oceans. With its blend of innovation, inspiration, and environmental awareness, it continues to set new standards year after year, remaining a must-attend event for anyone passionate about exploring and protecting the underwater world.

The ADEX OCEAN FESTIVAL will take place on 3 days from Friday, 10. April to Sunday, 12. April 2026 in Singapore.
