Dive Middle East Exhibit 2008

I recently attended DMEX - the Dive Middle East Exhibit. Held in conjunction with the Dubai International Boat Show in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, DMEX is the biggest dive show in the Middle East. The highlights were displays by several equipment manufacturers such as Scuba Pro, Cressi Sub, and Beuchat, local dive centers, and dive operators from as far away as Malaysia and the Seychelles along with dive demonstrations to draw in the crowds. While not quite in the same league of large dive shows like DEMA DMEX did a good job of promoting diving in the UAE and Middle East.

DMEX will return in March 2009. If you're in the neighborhood you should definitely add it to your calendar.
