Booth reservations for the Moscow Dive Show 2026 are in full swing. Nearly half of the exhibition hall will again be dedicated to the tourism sector showcasing hotels, dive centers, liveaboards, glamping resorts, fishing lodges, as well as cruises and expeditions for fans of underwater and surface adventures.

And it’s already clear that Egypt and the Maldives, the long-time favorites among Russian divers, will top the charts once again.

Egypt remains the undisputed favorite among Russian divers. According to a visitor survey at the Moscow Dive Show 2025, more than half (52%) of all divers who traveled abroad in 2024 chose Egypt - and 28% of them didn’t go anywhere else. No wonder, with direct flights from major Russian cities to Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada making Red Sea adventures so easy to reach.

The Maldives take a confident second place, with 16% of divers exploring the waters of this stunning archipelago. And this number is set to rise - with fresh ideas and exclusive offers waiting to be discovered at the show.

The Maldives will be strongly represented at the show. Confirmed exhibitors include the iconic Fuvahmulah Dive School and Fuvahmulah Central Dive Center - world-famous for their thrilling tiger shark dives. Joining them are top liveaboards Maldiviana, Marselia Star, and Manta.club, along with Addu Scuba Club, Thoddoo Diving Center, and Rosy Villa Hotel.

Egypt is coming in full force too, showcasing both daily diving and dive safari adventures across the Red Sea. Welcoming visitors to explore Egypt’s underwater treasures will be the teams from Classic Dive (Hurghada), EASY DIVERS, and Dolphin Dive Center (Sharm El Sheikh). The liveaboard fleet is equally impressive - Seawolf Diving Safari, Xplorer Aquarius Safari, Sadko Safari Fleet, and newcomer at the exhibition Sinaistar Liveaboard.

For the 2026 season, Maldivian liveaboards are offering week-long trips ranging from USD 1,800 to 3,000, including accommodation and diving.

Egyptian boats remain the most affordable option, with week-long safaris starting from USD 900.It’s worth noting that the Egyptian fleet has been steadily expanding with modern new vessels, offering maximum comfort in cabins and premium-quality onboard service.

Maldivian hotels are priced between USD 2,000 and 3,500 per week, while a six-day dive package costs around USD 300-500 - comparable to the liveaboard experience.

Egypt’s dive centers continue to offer convenient daily diving programs, easily combined with standard travel packages that include flights and accommodation.
Expect to pay around USD 65 for a day with two dives on a house reef.

Egypt remains one of the most convenient destinations for diving and freediving training. In 2026, rates start at USD 450 for Open Water Diver, USD 330 for Advanced, and USD 450 for the Junior course.

Exhibitors at the Moscow Dive Show traditionally come with special offers, discounts, and bonuses for visitors who book their trips during the exhibition days.
