For two decades, the Malaysia International Dive Expo has been the heartbeat of the ocean-loving community. The MIDE 2026 20th Anniversary returns bigger, bolder, and more meaningful than ever, celebrating its 20th anniversary with a powerful tribute to the sea and an exciting look into the future of diving, marine exploration, and ocean protection.

MIDE 2026 20th Anniversary

Taking place from 5 to 7 June 2026, MIDE 2026 will be held at Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), one of the country’s premier exhibition venues. The expo runs daily from 10.00 am to 7.00 pm, welcoming divers, industry professionals, families, and first-time visitors to experience the ocean in all its forms. More information about the event, programmes, and participation is available on the official MIDE website.

Under the theme “Forged by the Ocean — Two Decades of Passion, Purpose and Protection,” MIDE 2026 reflects on twenty years of inspiring divers, adventurers, educators, and conservationists, while setting a new course for sustainable marine lifestyles. What began as a specialised diving exhibition has grown into a global meeting point where innovation, education, travel, and conservation come together under one roof.

MIDE 2026 is not just for seasoned divers. One of its most loved highlights, the Pool Try Dive experience, opens the underwater world to non-divers in a safe and guided environment. For many, it becomes their very first breath beneath the surface. Beyond the excitement, this hands-on experience plays an important role in promoting water confidence, marine awareness, and responsible interaction with the ocean, especially among young people and families.

Across the exhibition floor, visitors can expect a vibrant showcase celebrating every aspect of ocean living. From cutting-edge diving equipment and underwater technology to inspiring dive destinations, professional certification courses, and marine education, MIDE 2026 delivers a complete marine lifestyle experience. Talks, workshops, and sharing sessions will explore freediving, cave diving, underwater photography, and other specialised fields that continue to shape the future of the dive industry.

A major highlight of the 20th anniversary edition is the expanded Boating and Sailing Pavilion. This feature showcases sustainable marine mobility, innovative leisure craft, and modern boating solutions, reflecting MIDE’s growing commitment to a responsible and forward-looking blue economy where enjoyment of the ocean is balanced with long-term protection.

As MIDE marks this historic milestone, it also invites brands, organisations, and industry leaders to partner with purpose. By supporting education initiatives, conservation programmes, and experiential features, partners help shape the next generation of responsible ocean explorers and strengthen their presence within a passionate and engaged marine community.
