Our World Underwater. The Chicagoland-based dive show is reaching a milestone with this year’s show – and a midlife crisis – at age 40. But like a fine wine, the show just keeps getting better with age.

Held February 19-21 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, Our World Underwater features 170 exhibitors, 24 in-depth workshops, eight manufacturer clinics, a photo competition and two nights of film festivals, all rolled into an action-packed three-day weekend.

Our World Underwater kicks off with workshops starting at 8am on Friday, February 19 and closes with the exhibition floor at 4pm on Sunday, Feb. 21.
