10 secrets of Moscow Dive Show 2018

1. Divers are not stern, pot-bellied people in huge "spacesuits"

(although you can meet divers like that as well ☺). Basically, these are ordinary guys who were lucky enough to be showed a way from a calm deckchair on the beach to an amazing world hidden under the water. World manufacturers of dive equipment are working diligently to make equipment more comfortable and easy-to-use, facilitating transition from above-water to under-water. Users only need desire, time and money.

2. Don’t ask me why I dive, ask yourself why you don’t.

Still, you can ask this and many other questions to the divers you’ll see at Moscow Dive Show 2018 and there will be a whole pack of them at a time. Divers who breathe air from tanks and rejoice at the surrounding beauties of the underwater kingdom, spearfishers who do not have any tanks at all but have guns, underwater photographers, these with tanks and cameras, as well as the most dexterous and harmonious representatives of the underwater tribe − freedivers , easily reaching the parts where not every diver can swim to.

3. Exhibition is a festival!

Underwater hobbies by definition are not boring; therefore the format of the exhibition is designed in such a way as to support this wonderful atmosphere of solidarity of all people who have been united by their love for water. Huge diode screens with the best underwater films, meetings with the legendary divers and special cultural programs prepared by the main "diving" countries of the world. Plus, a food court, treats fair, interactive diving in the 3D ocean and lots of other entertainment for children and adults.

4. Exhibition is shopping.

You won’t see such an assortment of equipment, tours and training programs in any other place. This is the largest market not only in Russia, but also in the Eastern Europe. Every day here is a battle for the hard-earned rubles of visitors, and the winners are those who offer the best quality and price. The exhibition ticket gives you a multiple entry right − perhaps on the first day you will not have time to decide on what you want to buy, especially given that every day there are new interesting events on the stage and in the conference rooms. A week before the start of the exhibition there will be a special "Shopping Guide for Moscow Dive Show-2018" which will combine the best promotions and offers.

5. Not everything can be bought in the store.

Strange as it may sound, custom (piecemeal) manufacturing of equipment is gathering momentum worldwide, and that equipment almost never reaches the shelves of large stores. The exhibition gives you an opportunity to buy such equipment and you can’t miss it. It is here that you can stumble upon "that cool titanium thing that you just wanted”.

6. What to buy for a "non-diver"?

7. To become a diver already at the exhibition.

The main secret, not always disclosed to beginners in dive stores: do not immediately rush for expensive equipment. You will fail to choose the right equipment anyway and then you will just have to upgrade. Buy the simplest and cheapest equipment, which, by the way, does not mean bad. In the Shopping Guide that we are going to present two weeks before the start of the exhibition we will collect for you the options of such kits, selecting the best sales. You will only have to study these models at the participants' booths.

8. Sails and boards.

We expand horizons, try new things. A separate section at the exhibition is yachting, kiting, surfing, SUP and everything related to wind and waves. More and more divers are learning to steer yachts, and yachtsmen have no choice but try diving, given that they have their own floating base. At Moscow Dive Show, you will be able to have a look at all kinds of active leisure both under water and over water.

9. Knowledge is power.

Recently, a long forgotten genre of open lectures has been revived in Russia. Now it is all the fashion to go not only to the theaters and cinemas, but also to lectures and master classes, where you can listen to experts and learn something new. The best of the best will give master classes in two conference rooms from morning till night during the exhibition. All events are free, exhibition tickets give you the right to visit exhibition every day, so draft your own educational plan.
