HOTDIVE joined boot Düsseldorf 2026, held from January 17-25 at Messe Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Known as the world's largest yacht and watersports show, boot Düsseldorf brings together the full water sports industry in one place. The 2026 edition welcomed more than 200,000 visitors, around 1,500 exhibitors and international participants across 16 exhibition halls, covering boating, diving, surfing, stand-up paddling, canoeing, water tourism and marine lifestyle.
For HOTDIVE, boot Düsseldorf was an important opportunity to meet Europe's broader water sports community. Unlike a dive-only exhibition, boot connects scuba diving with travel, boating, outdoor adventure and the wider culture of life on the water.
At the show, HOTDIVE shared scuba diving equipment with visitors who care about dependable performance, practical design and gear that works across different diving environments. Conversations with divers, retailers and water sports professionals helped us better understand how European users choose equipment for training, travel, cold-water conditions and long-term use.
Europe remains one of the world's most influential markets for diving and water sports. Meeting the community at boot Düsseldorf 2026 gave HOTDIVE valuable insight and strengthened our commitment to building reliable scuba gear for divers around the world.
