Upcoming event
IMCA Diving Safety, Medical, Technical and Training (SMTT) Forum
The Forum brings together contractors, clients, suppliers, training schools, naval and other military forces and regulators from around the world to discuss current trends and initiatives in the diving industry. While it is not a workgroup and therefore does not have the mandate to change IMCA documentation or guidance, it can recommend topics to the IMCA Diving Division Management Committee for consideration.
It also provides valuable networking opportunities and helps participants stay up to date with developments and best practice through discussion with peers and subject matter experts.
The Forum meets three times a year (one in-person meeting and two online). To maximise productivity and relevance, an agenda is distributed prior to each meeting, and detailed minutes are circulated after each meeting so participants can keep track of key discussion points. There is no expectation that participants attend every meeting, and the Forum does not allocate actions between meetings so involvement is limited to meeting participation.
