Exhibitor Sponsored Seminars
Liveaboard dive vessels operate throughout the world and provide divers the ability to explore some of the most beautiful and remote dive locations. For many divers there is no better way to comfortably experience the underwater world while maximizing their dive experiences. Despite decades of successful operations, several recent incidents have highlighted the need for liveaboard divers to become better equipped to protect their personal safety. In this seminar, Barry Lipsky with the Long Island Diver’s Association will present a comprehensive review of safety protocols to improve your odds of survival in the unlikely event of an onboard emergency. Learn what safety equipment and procedures should exist on board the vessel, what equipment divers can bring with them to improve their own safety, and how to rehearse emergency procedures for evacuating a liveaboard experiencing an incident. The presentation is a must-attend for anyone planning to spend time at sea on board a dive vessel. What you don’t know can hurt you…or worse. Don’t let an incident onboard a dive vessel become a tragedy. After all, liveaboards are the way to go for many divers; surviving an unlikely but potentially tragic incident is the way to go for all divers!
