ABOUT THE FAIR
The Thailand Dive Expo (TDEX) is an annual trade and consumer fair that has served as a key platform for the diving and water sports industry in Southeast Asia since its inception in 2004. Organized by the experienced N.C.C. Management & Development Co., Ltd., a well-established event and exhibition management company in Thailand, the event is held at the centrally located and state-of-the-art Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Bangkok. The venue is known for its modern infrastructure and high-quality services.
TDEX targets industry professionals, consumers, tourism providers, and water sports enthusiasts seeking the latest trends and developments in the diving sector. Exhibitors represent the full value chain of the industry—from modern diving equipment and accessories, dive schools, and certified training providers to liveaboards, boat operators, diving technologies, and specialized water sports gear. The fair also features tour operators, dive resorts, and offerings related to underwater photography and videography. The broad scope of products and services on display makes TDEX one of the most diverse expos of its kind.
A major focus of the event is promoting Thailand as a premier diving destination, with world-renowned sites such as the Similan and Surin Islands, Koh Tao, Koh Phi Phi, and Richelieu Rock, which attract thousands of divers from around the globe each year. TDEX serves not only as a commercial hub but also as a driver of innovation and sustainability in diving. Programs like “Seminar on Stage” feature talks on dive safety, environmental conservation, resource protection, and technological advancements. Competitions such as the Underwater Photo Contest and the Underwater Moment Video Contest further encourage creativity and awareness.
The exhibition experience is also enriched by charitable initiatives, including the donation of used diving equipment to organizations that help make the sport more accessible to wider segments of the population.
By combining professional depth, an engaging atmosphere, and social responsibility, the Thailand Dive Expo offers a highly specialized yet inspiring platform for the entire diving community—from manufacturers and tour operators to passionate recreational divers.
The Thailand Dive Expo (TDEX) in Bangkok took place from Thursday, 21. May to Sunday, 24. May 2026.
