DRT SHOW Indonesia 2026 to Host Diving Industry and Underwater Photography Exhibition
The Diving, Resort, and Travel (DRT) SHOW, the most influential diving industry exhibition in the Asia-Pacific, will officially be held in dynamic Indonesia. Exhibitors on the exhibition floor will infuse greater vitality into the display through their expertise and creativity.
At the ICE BSD City venue in Jakarta, the Ocean Star Underwater Photo Gallery will feature 50 stunning works. These images are not merely artistic expressions; they are the most authentic and humble records of the sea.
To protect this blue realm, the DRT SHOW strictly adheres to the highest ecological standards in the industry: Any work obtained by disturbing biological behaviour, touching marine life, or damaging biological habitats (such as stepping on coral or displacing benthic organisms) will be strictly prohibited from exhibition.
“We have established a rigorous professional review mechanism to ensure that every selected entry is captured without disturbing the ecosystem. We believe that true underwater masters must see themselves as guardians, not predators. Beyond the visual feast, we encourage visitors to interact with photographers about the stories behind the images, evoking resonance over the fragility and grandeur of the sea through beautiful aesthetics and proper guidance,” said Jason Chong, CEO of LX Development Group and founder of DRT SHOW.
The inauguration of DRT SHOW Indonesia 2026 marks a new starting point for the conservation journey in Indonesia. Far from just an exhibition of smart HUAWEI devices or the latest TUSA diving equipment; this event builds a blue ecosystem where conservation and trade, adults and children, coexist harmoniously.
“We invite all sea enthusiasts to join us in Jakarta from 17 to 19 April. Let us share insights gained over years in marine conservation, break the monotony, and collectively usher in a golden decade full of hope for Indonesia’s marine industry in the most engaging way,” said Jason Chong.

Founded by Jason Chong in 2009, the DRT SHOW has grown into an international phenomenon. Starting from Hong Kong in 2010, it has now successfully held over 60 exhibitions in major cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Taipei, Singapore, Manila, and Mumbai, with a strong network capable of attracting more than 250,000 professional buyers.
