The 8th edition of the Podwodna Przygoda diving fair is coming soon!

On 3-5 March 2017, in the Warsaw EXPO XXI complex at 12/14 Prądzyńskiego Street, the oldest and largest diving fair in Poland will be held. As every year, the capital will attract diving enthusiasts from all over the country to get acquainted with the novelties in the offer and surprises that have been prepared by diving equipment manufacturers, expedition organizers or diving centres. This will be the eighth edition of ‘Underwater Adventure’ and from the information reaching us we can assume that both the number of exhibitors and visitors will be record-breaking.

Exhibitors will occupy 1,700 m² this year. This represents an increase of 600 m² compared to the area occupied by the fair stands during the seventh edition in 2016. So we can be sure that during the weekend, we will have the opportunity to see most companies and organisations operating in the Polish diving industry.

Diving during the fair

For the first time at a diving fair in Poland, visitors will have the opportunity to dive in a pool… 8 metres long and 3 metres deep! Yes, yes! This year, the organisers have made sure that the equipment tests will take place in truly combat conditions. Anyone with the appropriate qualifications will be able to dive. Those without certificates will be able to make their first dive under the supervision of an instructor.

Tickets

Tickets can be purchased on the organiser’s website at via this link or at the box office during the fair. On the spot the price will be 20 and 30 PLN. With a pre-purchased ticket, please report to the reception, where entrance wristbands will be issued. All tickets will be valid for the entire duration of the event, from Friday to Sunday. Children under 10 years of age do not need a ticket. On the other hand, young people over 10 years of age, as well as pupils and students, will be able to take advantage of reduced tickets – the same price as for certified divers. An ID card will be required for entry.

Traditionally, entrance is free for instructors, uniformed and professional divers. However, in order to benefit from this privilege, we will have to present a certificate or official ID card. In the absence of a document, it will be necessary to purchase the corresponding entrance ticket.

Divers with certificates from any federation buy discounted tickets. A certificate will be required for entry.

We help in the “Bloodbobus”

As last year, the fair will be accompanied by a “Bloodbus”. Everyone who donates blood will receive chocolate from the staff of the “Krwiobus” and a free entry pass from the organiser. The first donors will also receive a small gift!
