DRT SHOW Taiwan 2026 Officially Releases Stage Program and Exhibitor List: Leading Asia’s Blue Economy, Taiwan’s Only Professional Diving Expo Returns to Expo Dome on May 8th

 

With the comprehensive recovery of the global dive tourism market and the continuous iteration of industrial technology, Taiwan, as a vital marine hub in the West Pacific, is embracing a new wave of flourishing blue economy development. The most influential and authoritative diving industry event in the Asia-Pacific region — DRT SHOW Taiwan 2026 (Diving Resort and Travel Expo) — officially announces its grand opening from May 8th to May 10th at the Taipei Expo Dome. 

For the hundreds of thousands of diving enthusiasts in Taiwan, this is an "unmissable" annual pilgrimage. Among the many outdoor sports exhibitions in Taiwan, DRT SHOW is the only professional platform specifically tailored for divers. You may miss general sports expos, but you must not be absent from this one-and-only, most iconic professional diving exhibition in Taiwan. Taiwan has secured a leading position in the Asia-Pacific region regarding professional standards in freediving, underwater mermaid sports, and underwater photography. This year’s expo will center on these core strengths to bring visitors the most cutting-edge industry trends.

During the three-day exhibition, visitors can explore a one-stop destination featuring the latest diving technology products, professional protective equipment, and high-precision underwater photography gear from over a hundred top global exhibitors. Visitors can also find customized overseas liveaboard itineraries and premium resort packages. DRT SHOW has always been committed to promoting marine sustainability. This year, the content of the conservation zone has been specifically strengthened, allowing every diver to gain the latest professional knowledge on protecting the marine environment while enjoying the beauty of the underwater world. This is not merely a commercial trade show, but a sensory feast of deep-blue culture. We sincerely invite global diving enthusiasts and industry professionals to join this grand event and jointly unlock the infinite possibilities of the deep blue.

To provide visitors with the richest inspiration, this year's expo has meticulously planned over 20 professional seminars. Experts from various fields are invited to share their insights, covering four major thematic areas. We sincerely invite you to participate in this knowledge feast and explore the deep mysteries of the ocean with industry leaders:

The series of seminars will focus on global and local ecological restoration practices, sharing how citizen power can participate in sea turtle protection, coral monitoring, and marine debris management to transform love for the ocean into real impact.

Multiple seminars will deeply analyze the compositional aesthetics and storytelling techniques of underwater imagery. This is not just an exchange of equipment and technology, but a sensory journey to enhance the soul and depth of your work.

These sessions will lead visitors to appreciate the underwater performance power that combines physical limits with elegant art.
