MIDE 2012
MIDE 2012 at PWTC in Kuala Lumpur will take place from 6 to 8 July, and this scuba diving expo is on the 7th year since starting back in 2006.
This is the largest and only dive event and exhibition in Malaysia attracting many international vendors and the local dive community.
In other words, this is like the Matta Fair of Diving where you can buy dive packages, equipment and so on.
For the diving enthusiast, there are many opportunities to get some of the equipment on sale during this dive expo. Apart from that, if you are a diver, you are bound to bump into many other diver friends here.

the Jukebox Shoe Shop opposite the Puduraya Bus Station and this bus
goes to Hentian Putra which is opposite PWTC. It will
cost approximately RM1.20 (US$0.40) one way.

Malaysia is hands down one of the best places in
the world to dive as there are many interesting and unique dive sites in Peninsular and East Malaysia.
I have also written an article about other scuba diving expos in Malaysia for anyone who is interested in this sport or hobby.
For the curious out there, if you want to find out more
about scuba diving or if you are interested in this sport or have
recently started diving, you should visit the Malaysia International
Dive Expo or MIDE.
