Technical diving is the frontier of scuba diving. While it is high-profile and trend-setting, it has its risks. Distinguishing between real and imagined risks and identifying appropriate alternatives are crucial for technical divers.
DAN will address these tasks in its 2008 Technical Diving Conference. The two-day conference, planned for Jan. 18-19, 2008, in Durham, N.C., will feature four half-day workshops. Discussions will include the operational and medical aspects of technical diving. The forum will also address ways to improve effectiveness and safety.
Registration is limited to 150 persons, so early registration is encouraged. For rates and deadlines, please see attached brochure.
