Having healthy lungs is an essential and important part of good diving and never more so since the outbreak of COVID-19. 

In this study which is all about you and your lungs, DDRC wants to focus on Vaping, Asthma, IPO (Immersion Pulmonary Oedema) and COVID-19.

For those of you who have taken part in their studies before you will know that there will also be the usual general health questions and the diving demographic questions too. 

Confidentiality

All the information you can provide will be untraceable to you, so DDRC would always value your participation in this project.

There are between 40 and 70 questions in this survey, but you will not have to answer them all; so the survey should only take about 10 minutes to complete.

Please follow the on-line instructions to the end. It might be helpful if your log book is to hand - thank you so much!

Link to survey

Please be assured all information you provide will remain anonymous.

Questions regarding this survey may be directed to DDRC Healthcare: 

email - info@ddrc.org

Technically Speaking

Simon Pridmore's aim in writing this book was to examine and record where technical diving came from, how it developed, how it expanded across the world, who the important movers were and how the efforts of a few determined people changed our little field of human endeavour forever.
