Scuba Show Long Beach

The Scuba Show is the premier annual consumer diving expo in the United States. It serves as a one-of-a-kind platform in North America, where divers, professionals, and businesses from around the globe come together in the heart of Southern California. The event takes place at the prestigious Long Beach Convention Center—a venue on the Pacific coast renowned for its maritime ambiance and outstanding infrastructure.

Organized by the Scuba Properties Corporation, the show spans more than 70,000 square feet and brings together hundreds of exhibitors and an international audience eager to explore the latest developments and trends in diving. Long Beach, with its strong maritime identity, active diving community, and importance to the regional ocean economy, serves not only as the geographical but also as the cultural center of the event. The city is a gateway to some of California’s most breathtaking dive sites and reinforces its status as a hub of the U.S. diving community by hosting this flagship expo.

The Scuba Show is far more than a trade fair—it is an immersive experience for innovation, connection, and education. Visitors can expect a wide-ranging lineup—from cutting-edge dive technology and gear to international travel destinations, and from underwater photography to dive training and marine research. The exhibitor spectrum includes specialized manufacturers, dive schools, travel operators, environmental organizations, nonprofit initiatives, and creators of handcrafted goods inspired by the sea.

A major highlight is the film festival, featuring stunning dive films from around the world on the big screen. The program also includes a casino night that blends networking with entertainment. In addition, over 70 seminars and workshops offer attendees the opportunity to deepen their expertise, develop new skills, or earn certifications—whether they are beginners or seasoned divers. Interactive features like free introductory dive sessions in a 15,000-gallon pool make the show especially appealing to newcomers and the dive-curious.

The Scuba Show caters to both the general public and industry professionals—from tourism, equipment development, and underwater photography to sports and recreation, environmental advocacy, and marine science. With its direct coastal location, international airport access, and proximity to Los Angeles, Long Beach provides ideal conditions for showcasing diving at the highest level.

As the central meeting point for a dynamic international community, the Scuba Show sets new standards each year for innovation, sustainability, and immersive experiences in the world of diving—turning Long Beach into an annual hotspot for ocean enthusiasts.

The Scuba Show will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 31. May to Sunday, 01. June 2025 in Long Beach.
