Advancing knowledge of diving and hyperbaric medicine

Welcome to the website of the Dutch Society for Diving Medicine (NVD). The NVD is a scientific society for physicians with an interest in diving and hyperbaric medicine and for physicians who work in this field professionally. The aim of the society is to advance knowledge of diving and hyperbaric medicine.

Through the NVD you can recertify with the ECB as a European-certified diving physician. The NVD has set up a separate website for this purpose (Diving Physician Certification). There you can create an account and upload the documents required for recertification.

Non-members have access to the NVD’s guidelines and position statements and can watch our webinars on demand.

Contact
