COVID Advice for Divers
Thanks, Margo for the updated information – very valuable and helpful
“The Diver’s Alert Network (DAN) has issued updated advice relating to divers who have suffered from Covid-19 infections and are planning a return to scuba diving. Covid-19 has particular implications for the scuba diving community as the SARS-COV-2 virus which causes it targets the heart, lungs, circulatory and respiratory systems – those most affected by pressure when we dive.“

Please take care, stay safe and be kind to each other, Ian
