The European Dive Show (EUDI) is the biggest dive event in Italy and one of Europe’s most important water sport events.

Regardless of your interests and experience level, you can find engaging activities, workshops, and guest speakers at EUDI. For its 30th edition, entry is free for newly qualified divers!

It was 1992 when, for the first time in Italian history, Assosub appeared at the Verona fair presenting an event, the Eudi Show, European Dive Show. It was a small event that covered just over a thousand square meters of exhibition space. The Diving Show was a good success in that October edition from which, without knowing it, the seed of an event destined to reach today would have sprouted. The success of that edition pushed, in the following years, to renew the choice of Verona and the space occupied tripled in the space of three editions

From 1996 to 2001 the event moved to the headquarters of BolognaFiere and was a great success, covering 9,000 square meters of exhibition space in 2001. The great growth was also obtained thanks to the entry of the large companies in the sector in 2000, the year in which the event, detached from sport fishing (with which it had been held at the same time until then), moved the exhibition date from November to March (which is why the 1999 edition was skipped).

It was precisely the need to maintain the new dates (not available for those years on the Bologna venue) combined with the philosophy of creating a sort of traveling fair, which guided the decision of the Assosub board to return to the Verona venue for two more editions.

In 2004 Genoa was declared European Capital of Culture and, since much of the Genoese tradition and culture are based on the sea, Eudi Show moved the event to the Sea Fair to better honor the city. A great comeback and a good success.

After a first edition in 1995 in Rome (between the first editions in Verona and those in Bologna), Eudi Show returns to the capital, this time in the new headquarters of the Fiera di Roma in Fiumicino, in 2004. The Show takes place in the broader context of the Big Blu event, with which the new headquarters of the fair is inaugurated. An extraordinary success of the three Roman editions with over 100,000 visitors in total.

In 2010 Eudi Show returned to Bologna by virtue of a new agreement between Confisub and Assosub that reunited the sector. An arrival in Bologna that is a bit of a return to the origins with the simultaneous holding of the Sport Fishing Exhibition.

After this parenthesis, the Eudi Show held two editions at the Milan Rho-Pero fair. These are two editions that were held at the same time as the Bit (International Tourism Exchange) and with permeability of visitors. Since 2014 the event has returned to Bologna where it is again for this 29th edition.
