The Mediterranean Diving Show 2025 is preparing its most international edition with exhibitors from 20 countries.
The specialized diving show at Fira de Cornellà has already surpassed 130 exhibitors, with over 26% being new additions, just one month before the event.
The number of participants, the presence of exhibitors from other countries, the new additions, and the confirmation of top brands all point to promising expectations for the Mediterranean Diving Show (MDS), the iconic Diving Exhibition at Fira de Cornellà, which will celebrate its 25th edition from March 28 to 30. With one month to go, more than 130 national and international exhibitors have already confirmed their participation. In fact, we can say that the edition we are preparing will be the most international in the history of this diving fair, with over 19% international presence from a total of 20 countries worldwide.
In total, there will be 27 exhibitors from 20 countries. From Asia, participants are coming from Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. Among the African exhibitors, we have companies from Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique. From America, exhibitors are coming from the U.S. and Mexico, from Oceania, specifically the Maldives, and finally, we will have European exhibitors from Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, the UK, Finland, and Malta.
Additionally, we have a significant number of new exhibitors. A total of 37 participants will either be exhibiting for the first time at MDS or have decided to return after not attending the last edition. This represents 26% of the total exhibitors, even though the fair is still a month away.
All of them, along with a significant number of national exhibitors, will make up over 130 stands, representing all sectors related to the world of underwater activities: equipment, specialized travel agencies, diving centers and schools, tourist offices, shops, educational services, underwater sports disciplines, equipment, distributors, and more.
Support from the leading brands in the sector
The Mediterranean Diving Show turns Cornellà into the epicenter of the diving world for three days, in part thanks to the support and loyalty of major brands. In this 25th edition, we will once again have Cressi, the Italian brand that leads the design, production, and marketing of diving equipment. We will also have Beuchat, the French company from Marseille, the birthplace of scuba diving. Visitors will also be able to learn about new products from Dynamicnord, a sustainable, dynamic, and innovative brand based in Germany. Once again, we will have PADI, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, and its centers. In addition to Ocean Management Systems (OMS), with its products known for innovative design, we will also see the nautical company Garmin Iberia, the Finnish company Suunto Oy, manufacturer of diving gauges, compasses, and precision instruments, Marlin in its specialized line for diving, snorkeling, and apnea, Custom Diving Systems, a distributor of diving equipment, and Qstar, a distributor of underwater robotics, among other exhibiting companies.
In total, there will be over 8,000 square meters of exhibition space, where a heated pool will also be set up for diving baptisms starting at age 8 and demonstrations with champions in disciplines such as apnea, which we will announce shortly. Furthermore, the MDS has always been a center for debate about the industry. Once again, numerous conferences will invite attendees to reflect on the present and future of underwater activities in a new edition of the Professional Technical Conferences.
All this and much more at the Mediterranean Diving Show from March 28 to 30 at Fira de Cornellà.
