InterDive Friedrichshafen – The diving and travel show on Lake Constance

The fascination of the underwater world: diving, travel, and adventure

InterDive Friedrichshafen is one of the leading public trade fairs for diving, snorkeling, and diving trips in the German-speaking world. As an integral part of the event calendar in the Lake Constance water sports region, it brings together diving enthusiasts, equipment suppliers, travel providers, and environmental initiatives under one roof. The fair not only offers products, but also encounters, experiences, and inspiration for the next underwater adventure. From the latest diving technology to exotic travel destinations and environmental protection projects: InterDive is a real industry gathering for beginners, advanced divers, and professionals alike – with a personal touch, a high level of expertise, and plenty of opportunities to get involved.

Diving technology, equipment, and accessories—innovation you can touch

Manufacturers and retailers present a wide range of diving equipment: regulators, dive computers, jackets, fins, masks, suits, underwater lights, camera systems, and rebreathers. Accessories such as bags, buoys, compasses, and scooters will also be on display. Many brands will be offering trade fair deals or individual advice directly on site. Special attention will be paid to safety-related technology, digitalization, and new materials – e.g., ultralight travel regulators, sustainable neoprene, and smart dive logs.

Diving trips & tour operators – wanderlust included

The travel section is at the heart of the trade fair. Providers from all over the world – from Egypt to Indonesia to Mexico – provide information about resorts, diving centers, liveaboards, safaris, and courses. Whether tropical reefs, wreck diving, big fish, or cold water experiences – everyone will find the right destination here. Visitors can book directly, compare, or simply dream. Many tour operators also present special packages for diving clubs, groups, or families.

Environment & sustainability – diving responsibly

InterDive also focuses on the topic of marine conservation. NGOs, diving clubs, and environmental initiatives show how divers can actively contribute to the protection of the underwater world: through citizen science projects, reef clean-ups, or educational work. Topics such as microplastics, coral bleaching, overfishing, and sustainable tourism are addressed in lectures and discussions.

Workshops, lectures, and live demonstrations

The trade fair offers an extensive supporting program: from practical workshops on equipment maintenance and medical diving issues to experience reports from the depths, everything is included. Professionals talk about encounters with sharks, wreck expeditions, or their work as underwater photographers. Beginners will also receive many valuable tips: How do I get started with diving? What training is useful? What should I consider before my first diving vacation?

Photography & film – capturing the beauty of the deep

Underwater photography and film play an important role at InterDive. Specialist suppliers of camera systems, housings, lighting technology, and editing software will be on hand to offer advice. Exhibitions will showcase impressive images from the depths of the world's oceans – from macro to big game. Live demonstrations provide insight into the workflow of photographers – from shooting to post-processing.

Beginners welcome – discover diving as a new passion

For those who do not yet have a diving license, the trade fair offers the best opportunities to get started: information stands, trial sessions, introductory diving offers, and advice from diving instructors and schools. Direct contact with the community makes it much easier to get started.

A family atmosphere with international flair

Despite its international orientation, InterDive retains its personal character: people get to know each other, exchange ideas, make travel plans, or discover new passions. The distances are short, the conversations intense – for many, the trade fair is an annual highlight and a meeting place for old and new friends.

Friedrichshafen as a water sports center on the lake

With its location directly on Lake Constance and a strong water sports tradition, Friedrichshafen offers ideal conditions for InterDive. The modern trade fair infrastructure, proximity to diving areas, and high quality of leisure activities make the city the ideal location for an event of this kind.

InterDive – Inspiration and technology for the underwater world

InterDive Friedrichshafen is much more than a product show. It is a place for encounters, further education, discovery, and responsibility. Anyone who lives for diving or wants to learn more about it will find technology, people, and ideas for a fascinating world beneath the water's surface here.
