Dive enthusiasts and medical professionals are invited to participate in a comprehensive two-part seminar on diving and hyperbaric medicine, featuring distinguished international resource speakers.
The event is scheduled to take place at the Bai Hotel in Mandaue City, Cebu from 15 to 17 February followed by sessions at the Luxent Hotel in Quezon City from 19 to 21 February.
Each venue will accommodate 150 participants, providing an exclusive learning experience.
The seminar is organized by the Dive Committee, composed of the Department of Tourism, the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority, the Philippine Commission on Sports Scuba Diving, and the Tourism Promotions Board.
The primary goal is to harmonize all scuba diving programs and activities across the country.
Richard “Dick” Clarke, president of the National Baromedical Services Inc., USA, and the recipient of the 2023 DAN Lifetime Achievement Awardee, and Dr. Alicia Fleur Turner, a diving and hyperbaric medicine practitioner from Australia, will conduct the three-day sessions covering topics such as Diving Medicine review and update, Hyperbaric Chamber Operational and Safety Aspects, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Review.
The seminar is a direct response to the insights gathered during the dive dialogue in Cebu City last September 2023, addressing the expressed needs of the dive industry.
The inaugural Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine seminar took place in 2018, marking this as a significant continuation of knowledge dissemination and skill enhancement.
