Moscow Dive Show 2025 — the main exhibition for the water man

 Any supplies for water-related activities. 

Moscow Dive Show is the largest exhibition of equipment, tourism and training for all "underwater" and "water" people in Russia and Eastern Europe — diving, spearfishing, freediving, underwater photography, yachting, surfing and SUP, water tourism, as well as equipment for swimming pools and beach activities.

Gostiny Dvor is a premium exhibition venue in the heart of the capital, just a stone's throw from Red Square. Built in the late 18th century by the Italian architect Giacomo Quarenghi, it occupies an entire block between Varvarka and Ilinka streets.

The 12,000-square-meter interior atrium size is comparable to Venice's San Marco Square, and the unsupported glass ceiling is still the largest in Europe.








Mission of the exhibition

- The main showroom of the water industry. Imagine that your stand is an office, a travel agency, or a store that only works for four exhibition days, but receives the maximum flow of interested visitors. Get quick sales on the site and a stock of "warm" customers for the entire season;

- B2B maximum. More than 10% of the surveyed visitors noted that the purpose of visiting the exhibition is business interests: wholesale purchases of equipment, direct booking of blocks of places in hotels and on safari yachts, offering the exhibition participants their own goods and services;

- Conversion of profile groups of clients. Combining both underwater and surface activities on the same site provides excellent prerequisites for the arrival of new customers from adjacent "water" sectors. Divers become yachtsmen, freedivers try the kite, yachtsmen master spearfishing. The variety of destinations presented at the exhibition leads to an increase in visitor traffic and the effectiveness of the site, which is especially important for nonresident and foreign visitors, for whom visiting the exhibition is associated with significant costs;

- Large market and retail sales. Visitors are used to spending money on the Moscow Dive Show — the maximum range and special discounts motivate you to the main shopping season;

- Cultural and business program. Do not miss the opportunity for additional promotion of your business — a large stage and a spacious conference room, every day, from morning to evening.

- The main Water Exhibition for Russia and the post-Soviet countries. Develop your business through the Moscow Dive Show in several countries at once: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. There are no such exhibitions in these countries, and almost all active market players come to the Moscow exhibition once a year.

"The last exhibition was indicative. Our diving community has received such a bright and rich format, which seemed impossible a couple of years ago. The exhibition was visited by the main helmsmen of the world diving industry, who brought products and special conditions for our market. I know first-hand that visitors were very pleased. We didn’t expect to see so many keen and committed divers.
It turned out to be a perfectly organized holiday with an incredibly positive and business-like atmosphere!"

Retail sales

The Moscow exhibition provides an excellent opportunity for active retail sales. Historically, the practice of large deferred demand in the run – up to the February exhibition is that people start planning a big shopping trip at the Moscow Dive Show in a few months. The maximum range, discounts and a festive atmosphere-this is the simple secret of this cocktail. More than half of the visitors do not leave the exhibition without shopping.

The buyer's basket at the Moscow Dive Show looks something like this:
  • Underwater equipment. New items and sale of old collections.
  • Unique products that are not presented in wide retail chains. Rare brands. Custom models.
  • Gadgets and underwater accessories. Products for outdoor activities.
  • Tours and divesafari.
  • Training in diving, freediving and spearfishing.;
  • Yachting training, sailing trips and regattas.
  • Surfboards, SUP boards, kayaks, and other ways to navigate the water.
  • Souvenirs, artifacts, and themed clothing.
  • Delicacies – fish, caviar, honey, etc.
To return from the exhibition not only with a pack of business cards, but also with live money – this task can be set for each participant of the Moscow Dive Show. There is no price dumping at the exhibition, but various forms of motivating customers to make decisions directly during the exhibition days brought a concrete result. Prepare a special offer and customers will vote with their wallet.

Cultural programme



     

The substantial part of the Moscow Dive Show is the program of shows and performances on the main stage. The large screen and loud sound turn this zone into a concentration of the main visitors. The best films, performances of big names in the underwater and on-the-water activities, presentations of countries and regions, conferences in various fields (held by photographers, caving and technical divers, freedivers) and summing up creative contests and festivals. All that pleases eyes and ears of the Moscow Dive Show guests from morning to evening. Next to the stage there is a food-court zone with delicious drinks and nutritious snacks.

Tickets to the exhibition are valid for all 4 days of its work, which encourages to visit the event again and to choose the most relevant events on the stage and in conference halls. This is also important for retail stands at the Moscow Dive Show, since visitors can make a purchase decision during their second or third visit.
