Foundations on Scientific Diving

This program is at entry level for a non-diver to begin diving, covering the basic fundamentals of diving aimed for scientific work underwater. The program is broken into two parts of 1 week each. Successful completion of this program allows a diver to enter the Occupational Scientific Diver program directly.

Training is organized monthly from May to October. Selection is based on applications and in-water tests.

The Onni Talas Foundation is kindly offering scholarships for students. These scholarships are intended for students enrolled at any Finnish University to gain entry level dive training with the intention of applying it in scientific diving.
