Now in its 26th year, the San Diego UnderSea Film Exhibition (SDUFEX) is the longest-running film festival dedicated exclusively to underwater films. This year’s screenings will take place in person over two nights at San Diego’s Qualcomm Hall, drawing more than 1,000 attendees, and will be followed by a virtual showcase featuring selected films available to audiences worldwide.
The first SDUFEX was held in 2000, born from a small group of passionate divers who met at Chuck Nicklin’s dive shop to exchange tips on filming and editing underwater footage. Over the past quarter-century, it has grown into the world’s most prestigious celebration of underwater cinematography.
Come dive into an unforgettable cinematic experience at the 26th SDUFEX!
