On February 17, the annual Exhibition for the Water Man, the largest event in Russia and Eastern Europe dedicated to all water and underwater hobbies (diving, freediving, spearfishing, yachting and surfing) — Moscow Dive Show 2022 will open in the capital of Russia in Gostiny Dvor exhibition center. For four days in February, dive centers, bases, hotels, as well as organizers of trips and yacht regattas will present to the public not only well-known routes, but also completely new ideas. The distant atolls of the Maldives, the underwater world of Saudi Arabia, which was recently closed for tourism, whales and killer whales of the Shantar archipelago, amazing Chukotka and the subtropical island of Moneron will meet with aquatic people in the new season.
The delegates of the coastal tourism industry and organizers of trips to the Russian seas will be the special guests of the exhibition. Every evening on the main stage there will be a conversation about the specificity of diving, spearfishing, fishing and yachting on the Black, White, Barents, Japanese, Okhotsk and Bering Seas.
The travel industry is not inferior to equipment sellers at Moscow Dive Show. The huge atrium of the Gostiny Dvor will also be filled with everything necessary for the life of the waterfowl people: fins, masks, wetsuits, regulators and underwater guns from leading domestic and world manufacturers for adult and young ichthyanders. The Diving Project sector is dedicated to the equipment, technology and training of commercial and military divers. And one more separate zone is given to those who conquer the waves from above — for yachtsmen and surfers.
Noncommercial and sport organizations will introduce innovations in training. Schools for divers and skippers are waiting for new students. Special attention is paid to children, as well as to people with disabilities in combination with boundless will.
On Thursday, there will be a block of performances on the main stage dedicated to para-diving and para-yachting. The cultural program of the exhibition in 2022 includes more than a hundred performances on the main stage and in the conference hall. The best of the best will share the secrets of their skills, show photos and video reports about their unique expeditions on a huge screen, and answer questions from the public.
Another bright event is the annual large-scale exhibition of underwater photo art. While snapshotting on land is available to everyone with a smartphone nowadays, underwater photography still requires special training and equipment. Both children and adults are recommended to take a look at Secrets of the underwater microcosm — the microscope midpoint, where experienced marine biologists will show amazing inhabitants of the depths of distant seas and lakes and will tell about their charges in daily lectures. The most eventful day — Saturday, February 19 — will end with two brightest shows: Heroes of Depth and the beloved Gift Hour, where every visitor will get a chance to win equipment, travel or a training course. The Gourmet mart and food court are established for a good mood and a festive atmosphere. Wild oysters, fish and caviar, honey and nuts, farm products and gifts from a forest — it’s necessary to try everything and not to forget to take something home. The ticket is valid for all 4 days of the exhibition. A family ticket opens access to the exhibition for dad, mom and children at once.
