Divers wanted for important research

Divers are being invited to take part in a MSc research project, in conjunction with the University of Plymouth

Please support this online research survey to investigate how Covid-19, and subsequent lockdowns, have impacted on participation in recreational scuba diving across the UK – and we need your help! We all know that Covid-19 has had a huge impact on the UK and the world, however there is currently limited anonymous field data around divers participation in recreational scuba diving during the pandemic.

The research is being launched by Tina, a qualified doctor/GP trainee as part of her Master’s Degree at the University of Plymouth. The purpose of this survey is:

·         To benchmark the normal diving habits across the UK prior to Covid-19

·         To understand diver’s attitudes to associated risks throughout the pandemic

·         To understand how the pandemic has affected the UK’s recreational diving community

All divers are invited to help with this research, even if you have never had Covid-19.

The survey is completely anonymous, takes 15 minutes to complete and will provide important information about diving habits before, during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. You will be asked about your opinions and diving practices – your views and experiences are what this project is interested in exploring.
