From May 21 to 24, 2026, Southeast Asia's diving community converged on Bangkok for the Thailand Dive Expo (TDEX) 2026, held alongside the Thailand Golf Expo and Outdoor Fest 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Hall 5–6. DIVEVOLK exhibited at Booth B86–B89, turning the stand into a working showcase of smartphone-based underwater photography and imaging for professional divers and content creators alike.
Running daily from 11:00 to 20:00 across four days, TDEX is one of the region's most important industry gatherings. With organizations such as DAN (Divers Alert Network) on board as official dive safety partner, it draws new divers, returning customers, and underwater creators into the same space to compare gear, trade travel notes, and discover the tools that will shape their next season below the surface.
A Three-in-One Show: Dive, Golf, and the Outdoors
What makes TDEX distinctive is its scope. By pairing the dive expo with a golf expo and an outdoor festival, the organizers created a broad lifestyle event rather than a niche trade fair. For a brand like DIVEVOLK, that mix matters: it puts underwater imaging in front of an audience that already lives an active, content-hungry outdoor lifestyle, and it reflects a wider trend of dive technology converging with the broader outdoor ecosystem.
Throughout the four days, the show floor stayed busy with a steady mix of professional divers, instructors, dive operators, underwater influencers, and curious first-time visitors. Many moved through the aisles with the bright orange DIVEVOLK tote bags that quickly became one of the most visible accessories on the floor.
Booth B86–B89 Was Built for Hands-On Discovery
The most valuable trade show conversations happen when a visitor can pick up a product, press the controls, and immediately understand how it solves a real diving problem. That was the energy around Booth B86–B89 throughout TDEX, where distributors and retail partners walked visitors through the complete DIVEVOLK system: underwater phone housings, SeaTouch 4 Max kits, lighting, lenses, and the new control accessories that make underwater shooting feel more natural.
The display cases laid the system out clearly: the SeaTouch 4 Max Platinum and SeaTouch 4 Max Plus housings, color-correction filters, sea light and macro lenses, wide-angle optics, floating arms, and travel cases. Seeing the full kit side by side helped visitors understand how a simple phone housing can grow into a complete underwater imaging rig.
New Accessories That Make Underwater Shooting Easier
DIVEVOLK's latest accessories drew steady attention because they tackle the small friction points divers hit once they start filming more seriously. Each one is built to improve efficiency in the water and give creators more freedom over how they shoot.
- Shutter (external underwater shutter) gives users a more stable, intuitive way to trigger photos and video while keeping a firm grip on the rig.
- Video Light Controller lets divers adjust lighting on the fly, which is especially useful when subject distance or ambient light shifts mid-shot.
- Dual-port clamp supports two adapter rings at once, so creators can switch quickly between wide-angle scenes and close-up subjects without breaking the moment.
These are not spec-sheet flourishes. They are the practical details that decide whether a diver surfaces with one lucky clip or a complete visual story. Paired with DIVEVOLK lighting and lenses and filters, the new tools make the SeaTouch ecosystem more modular, more professional, and easier to operate.
SeaLink Brought Real-Time Underwater Connection to the Floor
The product that changed the conversation most quickly was SeaLink, DIVEVOLK's underwater smartphone data transmitter. On the big screen above the booth, visitors saw how SeaLink supports surface-to-ocean real-time communication, underwater live streaming, and emerging underwater AI use cases.
The booth presentation mapped SeaLink onto concrete scenarios: underwater exploration livestreams, underwater video calls, engineering and team communication below the surface, and integration with full-face masks. A live demo paired a full-face mask with a smartphone in a SeaTouch housing, showing how the signal stays usable while a diver keeps both hands free.
For many attendees, the surprise was not just that an underwater livestream is possible, but how many practical situations suddenly become easier to picture: a dive operator showing guests what is happening below, an instructor demonstrating a skill to people on the surface, or a creator turning an underwater moment into something an audience can watch in real time. The reaction from the crowd was consistent — first novelty, then genuine technical excitement.
Color, Light, and Lenses: The Full Imaging Kit
Underwater color loss is one of the first problems new shooters notice, so the booth gave plenty of space to color-correction filters and lighting. Visitors compared red and magenta M67 filters against sample footage, then saw how DIVEVOLK's video lights restore color and contrast at depth — a clear, visual way to explain why lighting and filters belong in every serious imaging kit.
The energy stayed friendly and hands-on all day. Giveaways like the limited "DIVEVOLK Family" sticker sheets and a follow-and-repost gift drew a steady stream of visitors who wanted to take a piece of the booth home and share it on social media.
New Users Curious, Veterans Driving the Next Upgrade
The booth turned into a two-way feedback loop. New users arrived curious and left wanting to try the system for themselves, moving from "I understand what it does" to "I want to shoot with it." Experienced DIVEVOLK owners did something just as valuable: they shared real-world usage and suggested refinements, giving the team direct input on where the product should head next.
That mix of perspectives is exactly what a show like TDEX is for. New users validate that the system is approachable; veterans push it forward. Together they make the booth less of a sales counter and more of a living product lab.
Content, Community, and Ocean Conservation
Beyond the gear, TDEX was a content engine. The team filmed throughout the show, invited visitors to follow DIVEVOLK on social media, and encouraged everyone to share their own booth moments. The result was a steady flow of authentic, community-driven content — the kind that travels far better than any polished ad.
That spirit ties back to a larger purpose. DIVEVOLK's tools exist to help divers capture and share the ocean responsibly, supporting the conversation around marine protection and sustainable diving. The best underwater content invites more people to care about what is down there — and to follow "take only photos, leave only bubbles" when they get in the water.
Technology, Experience, and Storytelling in One Place
If TDEX 2026 proved anything, it is that DIVEVOLK's value sits at the intersection of three things: technology that keeps advancing, experiences that let people feel the difference in their own hands, and content that carries the story far beyond the booth. The show delivered product validation, fresh market feedback, and a more direct, intuitive way for divers to experience how underwater imaging has evolved.
What's Next
The feedback gathered in Bangkok feeds directly into the next round of product updates. DIVEVOLK is already looking ahead to its next stops — an upcoming show in Malaysia and the Scuba Show in Atlantic City in the United States — as it continues to strengthen its connection with divers and creators around the world.
