In addition to Recommendation 2.1 on the use of scientific divers in the context of a SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 disease, we have compiled further useful information here. This page is of course dynamic and will be added, changed etc. as soon as new information is available. So check back from time to time.

We encourage all companies to have divers and other persons directly involved in a scientific diving assignment fill out a binding voluntary self-declaration on the personal status of a possible SARS- CoV-2 infection / COVID-19 disease before each assignment.

To deepen the topic on SARS- CoV-2 infection / COVID-19 you will find useful links to websites and statements of other organisations:
