The Philippine International Dive Expo (PHIDEX) 2027

Exploring New Frontiers in Diving, Innovation, and Ocean Discovery

The Philippine International Dive Expo (PHIDEX), the country’s premier gathering for the diving community since 2019, returns for its fifth edition on March 12–14, 2027, at the SMX Convention Center Seaside Cebu. This year, PHIDEX goes beyond recreational diving to position the Philippines as a regional center for technical diving, underwater exploration, advanced training and dive innovation. Its centerpiece is the Philippines’ First International Technical Diving Conference, which brings together leading divers, trainers, researchers and industry experts to share advances in diving technology, safety, training, exploration and marine conservation.

Over three days, the Dive Exhibition will showcase Philippine destinations, resorts, liveaboards, dive centers and equipment suppliers, while the Dive Travel Exchange (TRAVEX) and B2B Meetings connect local suppliers with international buyers through pre-scheduled appointments. The Dive Conference and Seminars will spotlight emerging destinations, new products, investment opportunities and sustainable tourism, and the International Technical Diving Conference will cover safety standards, training and exploration. After the expo, Post-Familiarization Tours will give buyers, media and speakers a firsthand look at selected Philippine dive sites. Built around five key areas (Dive Tourism Excellence, Technical Diving and Exploration, Innovation and Technology, Marine Conservation and Blue Economy, and Skills Development and Industry Growth), PHIDEX 2027 aims to build lasting international partnerships and move the Philippine dive industry forward.
