Palm Beach, Florida, – The first and expectantly the largest Florida consumer SCUBA dive show located all under one roof. With room for over 200 exhibitors in a 50,000 square foot hall, the Florid Dive Show will include equipment demonstrations, travel seminars, technical conferences and much, much more.

Conveniently located in central Palm Beach County, Florida, only three miles from Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA), the Palm Beach Convention Center site is at 650 Okeechobee Blvd.

The Florida Dive Show is anticipating attendees from around the southeastern United States and possibly further. The early December date is ideal with the holiday season just getting into full gear. Exhibitors will experience a high end consumer dive market and the area is host to many vacationers this time of year. There’s also ample planning time for dive destinations to fill reservations for the upcoming spring diving season. Excitedly, local dive shops already are getting involved to help drive clientele to the show.

Show hours are as follows: Friday; 5:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M., Saturday; 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Sunday; 11:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.

There will even be local dive boat sponsored “Dive Palm Beach” 7:00 A.M at area docks both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Tech conferences Friday begin at 7:00 P.M., 8:30 A.M. Saturday, and 8:00 A.M. Sunday.
