Technical Visit - Tuesday 27th October
DCN Diving invite you…
For more than six decades, DCN Diving has been creating solutions for complex underwater challenges. One of our key areas of expertise is creating dry working environments underwater through advanced technologies for hyperbaric welding solutions. These techniques enable high-quality repairs, inspections, and construction activities in conditions where traditional diving methods reach their limits.
Experience a live demonstration of our award-winning Micro Habitat, learn more about the possibilities of hyperbaric welding, and join a guided tour through our Hyperbaric Test Centre. Meet our specialists, explore our facilities, and get an inside look at how we develop, test, and apply advanced underwater solutions for challenging projects worldwide.
There are two opportunities – one morning and one afternoon group. Transportation to and from the conference venue will be provided with refreshments.
