Malaysia Dive Expo
MIDE 2014 is scheduled for June 6-8 at PWTC, Kuala Lumpur. This scuba diving expo has seen tremendous growth over the years, with more exhibitors participating, many from around the Southeast Region and also as far as Australia.

This is also the 9th year for MIDE, and divers from all over the country, some even from abroad, to learn about the latest industry equipment and information.

Malaysia Dive Expo Review
This year at the Mide Dive Expo, many operators are participating and offering a variety of Dive Trips around Malaysia and as far as Raja Ampat or Palau.

Most popular are the Bali dive sites and also from around Sabah Borneo. Some tourism boards have also participated in the previous expo; therefore, you can expect to see them again for MIDE 2014.
