DXI 2026: Diving & Outdoor Expo JICC

Deep and Extreme Indonesia 2026 opened Thursday in Jakarta, bringing Indonesia’s diving, marine tourism, and outdoor businesses into a four-day expo at the Jakarta International Convention Center. (eventguide.id) The event runs from April 23 to April 26, 2026, at Hall B of the Jakarta International Convention Center, and organizer Dyandra Event Solutions says this year’s theme is “#DAREtoXPLORE: Waves of Collaboration.” (akurat.co) DXI says the show is built around four days of exhibitions with more than 100 brands, about 20,000 expected visitors, and partnerships with more than 50 communities across diving, marine tourism, overland travel, airsoft, paragliding, and other hobbies. (deepextremeindonesia.com) This year’s edition adds an international tie-up with ADEX 360, the Asia Dive Expo network, which organizers have described as a way to widen business and destination links for Indonesia’s diving and adventure sectors. (eventguide.id) (kompas.com) The pitch behind the expo is bigger than gear sales. Indonesian officials and organizers are tying diving and outdoor travel to post-pandemic demand for nature-based trips and to Indonesia’s push to turn marine tourism into a stronger part of the national visitor economy. (akurat.co) (medcom.id) Michael Bayu A. Sumarijanto, president director of Dyandra Event Solutions, said the company sees DXI as a platform for business growth, community building, and “regenerasi talenta,” or talent renewal, in diving and outdoor adventure. (akurat.co) Programming this week includes Diving & Underwater Experience, Adventure & Outdoor Activities, Workshop & Sharing Session, and Family Kids Activities, according to event materials. (eventguide.id) The competition slate is unusually broad for a trade show: Underwater Mermaid Competition, Underwater Photo Competition, Underwater Dance Competition, Underwater Modelling Competition, and an Adventure Shootout Competition are all listed for the 2026 edition. (eventguide.id) Ahead of the opening, DXI also rolled out a pre-event program called “DXI First Wave,” bringing in influencers, communities, and travel creators to promote adventure activities that organizers describe as safe, educational, and sustainable. (eventguide.id) (medcom.id) For Jakarta visitors this week, DXI is functioning as both a consumer expo and an industry meeting point, with the organizers betting that a larger, more international format can pull Indonesia’s underwater and outdoor tourism businesses onto the same floor.
