The 32nd edition of the Asia Dive Expo (ADEX) returns to Singapore from 10-12 April 2026, bringing together the global diving and marine conservation community for a three-day showcase at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Held as part of Singapore Ocean Week, ADEX 2026 builds on its legacy as Asia’s largest and longest-running dive expo, with a renewed focus on engaging a broader public audience. This year’s edition is anchored by the theme “The Blue Revolution: Reduce, Innovate, Reuse”, underscoring the industry’s growing commitment to sustainable ocean practices.
More than just a trade show, ADEX continues to evolve into a multidisciplinary platform, blending conservation, culture, education and innovation. The event is expected to attract over 20,000 visitors, with a diverse programme spanning international conferences, live performances, exhibitions, and hands-on workshops.
A key highlight this year is the launch of the Blue Legacy Awards in Singapore, recognising excellence across conservation, innovation, and community impact within the global ocean ecosystem. The programme culminates in a gala evening and charity auction in support of marine conservation initiatives.
The 2026 edition also introduces an expanded technical diving segment through Tek Asia by OZTek & ADEX, where experts will explore topics ranging from cave and wreck diving to hyperbaric medicine and diver safety. What's more, the Asian Geo Ocean Tribes Festival returns with a vibrant mix of fashion, music, film, and art celebrating ocean culture.
In addtion, visitors can expect underwater photography and film competitions, including the Voice of the Ocean contest, as well as new experiences like AquaPoetics, an underwater performance art competition that merges freediving with choreography and visual storytelling.
Meanwhile, the speaker line-up features an international roster of explorers, scientists and creatives, including renowned cave diver Jill Heinerth, Emmy Award-winning cinematographer Cristian Dimitrius, and marine scientist Dr Alan Friedlander.
