Our mission

We aim to publish a list of doctors of certified training and assessed competence in diving medicine who are available as medical examiners of working divers and as expert advisers for the diving and hyperbaric tunnelling industry.

The level of training is checked by our expert board to be in accordance with the competence levels defined in the standards of the European Diving Technology Committee (EDTC) and European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine (ECHM), approved by the Diving Medical Advisory Committee (DMAC).
