"Scientific Diver" training course

[Grab Thomas]

Dear colleagues,

After a break of two years I would like to draw your attention to a course of the Scientific Diving Center of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg. As you may already know, the SDC in Freiberg trains divers to become scientific divers. For external students and scientists, we offer a block course consisting of theory, practice and excursion for this qualification. The description of the two modules can be found at the end of this mail.

In this context, I would like to ask if you can publish or forward the following dates/instructions for the block course at appropriate places in your department?

 Modul I

The course is separated in lectures in the morning and practical pool training in the afternoon. 

Topics of the lectures can be adapted to the participants and will be e.g. oceanology, geoscience, hydrothermal systems, submarine volcanism, measuring equipment or photo and video documentation.  At the beginning and at the end of the course a two days dive camp with practical training in freshwater lakes takes place. 

Modul II

The excursion will be a two weeks research project in the marine environment around the submarine volcano of the beautiful island Panarea, Italy from 01—06.09.2017. During the field trip the participants work on a scientific topic. Different working groups offer many topics in the field of e.g. geology, gas and water chemistry, microbiology, heat and material transport or photo and video documentation.  Own Ideas and topics from the participants are very welcome.

The prerequisite for participation is at least a CMAS** (or equivalent) diving license and a valid medical diving examination and a scientific degree.
Successful participants of both modules will be credited as CMAS scientific divers and receive this brevier which enables them to participate in underwater research.
