The Seminar

NUI AS, will on behalf of The Association of Operators for Hyperbaric Lifeboat Reception Facilities, hold the next Bergen International Diving Seminar on the 13th and 14th of November 2019.

For the 2019 seminar we aim to repeat the previous 2017 success. Then 169 participants representing 77 Companies and Organisations in 10 countries enjoyed two very good days in Bergen listening to the 28 speakers and participating in lively discussions.
