The issue includes industry news, business education, DEMA-focused editorial and a 14-page companion designed to help attendees plan for the November show in New Orleans.
Scuba Diving Industry Magazine has released its September 2026 DEMA Show Issue, featuring industry-focused editorial, business education and an expanded DEMA Show Companion created to help dive professionals prepare for DEMA Show 2026, taking place November 3–6 in New Orleans.
The special issue combines the magazine’s regular coverage of the business of diving with content focused specifically on preparing for and getting more value from the industry’s largest annual trade gathering.
Beginning on page 71, the magazine includes a 14-page DEMA Show Companion designed as a practical planning resource for attendees. The section includes a two-page show floor map, exhibitor listings, seminar schedules, DEMA education information, networking and social events, and space for attendees to organize their own show plans.
“Our goal was to create something attendees could actually use before and during the show,” said William Cline, Publisher of Scuba Diving Industry Magazine. “There is an enormous amount happening during DEMA week, and the Companion brings many of those resources together in one place while also helping attendees identify the companies and organizations they want to visit.”
The September issue also features interviews, commentary and educational articles addressing current issues facing dive retailers, manufacturers, travel operators, training organizations and other dive industry professionals.
Among the featured content is an interview with DEMA’s new CEO examining the organization’s year-round role beyond the annual trade show, along with articles on preparing for DEMA, navigating the show floor, dive industry software platforms, travel, training, safety, marketing and business operations.
The digital edition is being distributed to more than 19,000 dive professionals in 165 countries. Printed copies are also being mailed to U.S. dive retailers and industry organizations, with additional copies scheduled for distribution at DEMA Show 2026.
Scuba Diving Industry Magazine will be exhibiting at DEMA Show 2026 at Booth 126. Copies of the DEMA Issue will also be available in the show lobby.
