Throughout the course, participants will have the opportunity to work with real-world diving data sets and case studies, applying the skills and techniques learned in the classroom sessions to identify patterns, insights, and trends related to diving. They will also have the opportunity to develop practical skills in dive planning, execution, and safety, as well as gaining a deeper understanding of the mathematical and physical principles that underlie safe and effective diving.
The course will take place in Chios, Greece, a beautiful and historic island located in the Aegean Sea. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the island's rich cultural heritage, as well as its stunning natural beauty both above and below the water.
