Interboot Friedrichshafen 2025
Safer Shorelines on stage
From September 25 to 27, 2025, I was able to present our Safer Shorelines project at Interboot in Friedrichshafen – one of the most important water sports trade fairs in the German-speaking world.
On stage, I presented both the SEE-Safety Guide and the Wolfgangsee buoy project.
The response from the audience was fantastic and once again confirmed how important our cause is:
More fun through diving safety and water safety for everyone!
Media presence and initial reactions
One highlight was the interview with **Benjamin Schulze** from the magazine *Tauchen*.
The conversation was published on Facebook and shared by the trade fair itself on the same day.
The effect was immediately noticeable: just a few hours later, I received two calls with concrete interest in the buoy project.
In addition, Alexander Kaßler, editor-in-chief of Tauchen magazine, has offered to present our project in detail in the Christmas issue.
The VDST also opened its doors: Dietmar Fuchs, editor-in-chief of the association’s magazine Sporttaucher, asked for a contribution of 2,000 characters and 3-4 pictures.
This report already appears in the BOOTS issue – a **special issue with up to 8 pages** is also planned.
THANKS to Dietmar 😊
Valuable discussions and new partners
Interboot was an ideal place to expand our network. Among the most important encounters:
- Daniela Burri (DAN) – Exchange on joint security initiatives in Switzerland.
- Mig Wehrle (Cressi) – open ear for our work, possible cooperation with a QR code on their buoys.
- Paul Fischer (Aqua-med) – close cooperation promised.
- Markus Schemp (Omnisub) – concrete plan for implementing the 10 rules on Elba.
- Heiko Günzel (Tauchzentrum Geiseltal) – Implementation of the rules at the largest artificial lake in Germany.
- Frank Leinenbach (Extra Divers Worldwide AG) – strong interest in the “Safety – Bot” project, sample provision promised.
- Conny Pfeifer (Mermaid Meets Relaxation) – successful SSI swimming instructor; together with her mother Beate, she has promised strong support.
Conclusion and outlook
Interboot Friedrichshafen 2025 has shown that Safer Shorelines is attracting enormous interest – from the media, industry partners and water sports enthusiasts.
The next steps are particularly pleasing:
- More visibility through planned media reports in Tauchen und Sporttaucher.
- New collaborations with international partners such as Aqua-med, Omnisub and Extra Divers.
- Concrete projects on Elba, at Lake Geiseltal and in international diving.
The positive response gives us a tailwind. Our goal remains clear:
Improving water safety worldwide with clear rules and innovative projects.
