IMCA is bringing the commercial diving community, vessel owners, port and harbour authorities and regulators together to explore best-practice for Underwater Ship Husbandry (UWSH) at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore on Thursday 10 October 2024.
Following a number of recent and avoidable diver deaths, and the publication of new IMCA Guidance, we are convening the industry with the goal of improving safety at a special one-day Technical Seminar.
Delegates will hear from a range of industry and regulatory experts from SeaTec, the Singapore Shipping Association, the Singapore Ministry of Manpower, Subsea7, and Total Energies.
Attendees will be reminded of the real-life consequences of diving incidents, with Lewis Beddows sharing his story from the stage. Lewis will also be joined by his father Derek Beddows to explore the lessons learned from his diving accident in Las Palmas in December 2018.
In addition, guests will hear from IMCA CEO Iain Grainger, Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI) President Phil Newsum, and Commercial Diving Association Singapore (CDAS) Chairman, Alexis Chee.
With thanks to platinum sponsors Smart Dives for their support.
