We Dive Safe – the conference and networking event for every diving professional and professional diver

All professional divers and diving professionals together… unique! On Friday, September 27 during the conference We dive safely, players from the entire diving sector will meet. Reserve your place now!

On September 27, for the first time, 'We dive safely' venue, the congress and networking event for every professional diver and diving professional, both within the professional and recreational diving sector. The theme is mentality, behavior and systems. The congress is intended for everyone who is involved in diving in a (semi-) professional way, both within the professional and professional sector.

“Why don't divers, recreationally and professionally, learn from each other?”

Diving is a broad concept. Divers are each active within their own area of work – recreationally and professionally. The common denominator is diving safety which always comes first. Yet within each discipline diving is done in its own way. So the question arises, why don't divers, recreationally and professionally, learn from each other? Why haven't forces in the diving sector been combined much more? The means of staying safe underwater are really the same and many divers are active in both the professional and recreational sectors.

Speakers from home and abroad from both the professional diving sector and recreational and technical diving will discuss the above questions on September 27. What underlies certain behavior and how can we bring about a change? Do we have to and do we want that too?
