ADEX Asia Dive Expo is the largest and longest-running dive consumer and trade show in Asia, also recognised as the must-attend event for anyone interested or involved in the world of diving! This year, ADEX is back as ADEX Ocean Vision 2022, as we dedicate the event to the elusive blue whale, which is Federally listed as “endangered” under the Endangered Species Act and protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The blue whale population has tragically plummeted due to the advances in whaling technology which enables commercial whaling activities worldwide. ADEX Ocean Vision endeavours to raise awareness about the plight of this fascinating animal.
Having celebrated its silver jubilee in 2019, ADEX Ocean Vision will return on 16 to 18 September 2022 at Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore, after the halt caused by the global pandemic. The event would bring together diving enthusiasts from all over the world to rediscover, renew and revive one’s long-desired passion and dive deep into Asia’s magnificent and spectacular blue biodiversity and to progress towards a blue recovery.
ADEX Ocean Vision 2022 will bring you through 3 days of fun-filled, interactive and educational events and activities. From live sharings from expert speakers, live judging of photography competitions to lucky draws with exciting prizes to be won, you will surely be kept busy while you’re at ADEX Ocean Vision 2022! Sign up now at tinyurl.com/adexoceanvision2022 to get your tickets to the show! Registration is FREE till 31 July 2022, 23:59PM (Singapore Standard Time).

More about ADEX
Since its inception with the first edition in 1995, ADEX has been the largest, and the longest-running dive expo in Asia. An established trade-show and a trusted name in the industry, ADEX has since evolved, edition to edition, and further positioned itself to be “more than just a dive show”; opening its doors to welcome divers, non-divers, families, and students with its specially curated programmes to grow beyond its current community. Each year, ADEX focuses on a theme dedicated to an endangered marine species with the aim of raising conservation awareness.
The event is proudly endorsed by major organisations in the industry, such as the Diving Equipment and Marketing Association (DEMA), Singapore Tourism Board (STB), and the China Underwater Association (CUA). It has also been recently appointed as the “Sustainable Ocean Ambassador” by the Agricultural and Food Marketing Association for Asia and the Pacific (AFMA) — the inter-government non-profit organisation in association with the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations.
From the Organiser
ADEX 2022 celebrates its 27th anniversary this year! In addition, the ADEX Ocean Partnership Summit (OPS) — announced in 2019 — will commence in 2022. With an array of scientific experts and government officials from all over the world participating in the OPS, we hope to come up with more global solutions that will propel us closer to a future with clean and sustainable oceans.
Continuing my mission to liberate the inner diver, I aim to learn with, lead and inspire the coming generations of divers to look below the waves and change the way — and the world — view our oceans. I strive to support this industry impeccably, through the navigation of the Underwater360 group, and work tirelessly to inspire and encourage people to explore the beauty beneath the waves.
