NEW DIVE SHOW IN THE HEART OF GERMANY - DESIGNED BY DIVERS FOR DIVERS

The InterDive exhibition for diving, snorkelling and travel in Friedrichshafen, Germany has become a fixture in the diving sector. The new InterDive Frankfurt will present as well the entire range of the fascinating world of diving and travelling. Hall 11.1 will feature the who’s who of diving and travelling: Trade, manufacturers, diving bases, diving boats, resorts, organisers, media and provincial representatives will ensure an impressive array of exhibits for snorkellers, diving pros and new divers.

The excellent location of the InterDive Frankfurt in the financial capital of Germany offers the perfect environment for a successful diving fair. The cosmopolitan city of Frankfurt - with more than five million people in the commuter belt - is one of the most important international economic centres.

Due to the optimal location in the city centre and the perfect traffic connection, the InterDive Frankfurt is easy and comfortable to reach. The largest German airport is only 20 minutes away by suburban train from the fair. The Frankfurt Central Station is within reach, because the suburban railway goes from there in 4 minutes to the fair. Hall 11 with its two levels can be reached via the spectacular, light-flooded portal house. The exhibition hall of the InterDive impresses with its pillar-free structure and special functionality. The portal house as an entrance gate in the western part of the exhibition grounds remains with its 26-meter-high, glazed foyer each visitor in lasting memory.

From bikini to dry suit, from snorkel to rebreather - the range of products on display of InterDive Frankfurt is comprehensive! The leading manufacturers of diving equipment and accessories present both well-known and new products. Trained staff is ready to answer all questions about equipment and accessories. In a relaxed atmosphere, Hall 11.1 offers space for intensive discussions and shop talk.

Suppliers from various countries present the most beautiful diving destinations worldwide at the InterDive. Tourist Offices give tips for varied holidays, resorts, dive centres and liveaboard vessels help in planning a successful holiday above and below water. Competent tour operators from the diving sector are on site, put together the desired dream trip for the visitor and advise in detail about even the fanciest destinations.

The stage programme is colourful and diverse. Numerous exciting presentations on sharks, diving safety, dream destinations or professional films are available throughout the day. The “night dive” party on Friday evening is a feature of the expo. This unique event with live music attracts many visitors to the hall!

With this exhibition, InterDive organizer Walter Harscher wants to »create the most optimal conditions for exhibitors and end customers «. In a short interview we asked him about the new dive show concept.

Mr. Harscher, normally the boat fair in Düsseldorf was the leading trade fair for divers. Will that change with the "InterDive Frankfurt"?

The diving scene needs its own fair! Therefore, the InterDive Frankfurt will be a five-day, pure diving fair, with 100% focus on diving - organized by divers for divers. Our goal is that this fair will establish itself as the new leading trade fair for the international dive industry.

How did it come to the decision for InterDive Frankfurt?

The InterDive Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance has been a fixed date for the diving industry for many years. Already at the beginning of the year, the exhibition space for 2019 was almost fully booked. Due to the great success of InterDive and the demand for a pure dive fair with a moderate duration and fair prices for exhibitors, we have decided to offer a 2nd InterDive in the heart of Germany. Already in January I had long discussions with many exhibitors from our industry. The divers do not want to be seen as an accessory of another fair, because the dive industry is its own, long-established scene. That's why it's time to break new ground and change obsolete structures to something positive.

How is the dive industry responding to this new offer, which could in a sense be seen as a counterpart to the boot show?

I have talked personally with several representatives of the diving industry for several weeks and the positive response to InterDive Frankfurt is overwhelming. Many industry leaders have already confirmed their participation in Frankfurt and are excited about our initiative!

Is the InterDive in Frankfurt a substitute or supplement to InterDive in Friedrichshafen?

Neither! Our fair in Friedrichshafen is aimed at divers in southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland and takes place in autumn - at a very different time and place. With the InterDive Frankfurt we want to create a new leading trade fair for the worldwide diving industry for the future.

When can visitors expect more information about exhibitors and the exact entrance fees?

Very soon! However, we can already confirm that the entrance fees for visitors will be € 11, - per person and € 6, - per child. So a diver can spend a great day with the whole family at a fair price. Also, the fees for exhibitors and the additional costs will be fair, so that exhibitors can expect significant cost savings!
