DIVING: A special meeting of the British Diving Safety Group was held online on Tuesday 12 May 2020 that included medical experts, diver training organisations and supporting industry representatives. The purpose of the meeting was to determine how the latest changes in government guidance may apply to the UK diving community. The view of all attendees was that it is, unfortunately, still too early to restart diving in the UK.
Our Medical Director Dr Doug Watts has written a piece on returning to diving
We share everyone’s desire to return to the water as soon as possible, after all many of our staff are divers, but we must also ensure that diving resumes safely. Therefore, UK divers are encouraged to act responsibly and not go diving. A message from BSAC Diving Officer, Dai Atkins
