Ideas for freedivers at the Moscow Dive Show 2024 — what stands to visit and how much money to cook. Let's go through the exhibition and plan a free diving route.

The right entrance to Gostiny Dvor is a direct road to the oasis of stands for freedivers.



Immediately at the entrance on the right hand is a huge retail stand E1/1 of DISKUS. This year, it makes sense to look at new wetsuits. Moreover, there is a 20% discount on new products.

Opposite is the stand R1 / 5 of the Open Dive store with a wide range of discounted products, among which you will certainly find what a freediver needs: wetsuits, fins, masks, tubes. Here, the Marlin Free Black mask, which costs 2,700 rubles on normal days, will be sold for 2,400 rubles, the Hard Belt cargo belt will be sold for 1,000 rubles at a regular retail price of 1,280 rubles, and the freediving liner can be purchased for 2,400 rubles at a retail price of 2,840 rubles.
