Diving tourism and water activities draw attention to the shore of Lake Constance in late September. InterDive returns to the Messe Friedrichshafen to bring together manufacturers, associations and travel agencies specialized in recreational diving and snorkel.
Location and practical information for InterDive 2026
InterDive is held from 24 to 27 September 2026 at the Messe Friedrichshafen. The fair will occupy Halle B5 with more than 9,000 m² of exhibition space. Its location in the border triangle between Germany, Austria and Switzerland makes access easy from nearby markets.
Who exhibits and who attends
The exhibitor program includes equipment manufacturers, industry associations and tour operators specialized in dive travel. The organisers note a combined presence of professionals and enthusiasts, so it’s advisable to prepare both technical and commercial materials for different profiles. Coexistence with Interboot at the venue brings an additional influx of visitors interested in water sports.
What the fair programme offers
The agenda includes stage presentations, networking spaces and the traditional charity auction that attracts media attention and visitors. The atmosphere is described as family-friendly and focused on direct contact with manufacturers and operators. The formula combines product launches, information about training and travel proposals.
Commercial prospecting at InterDive
If your goal is to generate B2B leads, plan concrete actions before, during and after the fair. Practical suggestions:
- Segment targets by client type: distributors, dive schools and travel agencies. Define 10 priority contacts and request meetings in advance.
- Bring samples or technical catalogues and digital versions for immediate sending. Hall B5 facilitates static demos and quick conversations.
- Prepare commercial packages with clear prices and conditions to ease decision-making at the fair. Include short- and medium-term collaboration options.
- Define a follow-up team with post-event contact timelines and email templates for each segment.
Avoid long presentations at the stand; prioritise practical demonstrations and material the visitor can review after the fair.

The organisers announce that 2026 will be the 14th consecutive edition and that the fair will occupy more than 9,000 m² in Halle B5 of the Messe Friedrichshafen. Among the highlighted activities is the annual charity auction.
