IMCA and it's Importance in the Diving Industry

Safety is a core focus, supported by Safety Flashes shared biweekly with nearly 10,000 professionals and over 1,600 vessel inspections conducted in 2023 through its ECMID programme. These initiatives promote a culture of continuous safety improvement and proactive risk management. IMCA also drives professional development through Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programmes and the popular Diving CPD App, ensuring industry professionals remain up-to-date.

Collaboration is central to IMCA’s work. It partners with global organizations like the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and supports the Diving Medical Advisory Committee (DMAC) to advance safety and influence regulatory frameworks. IMCA also champions sustainability through initiatives like ProjectGHG, which helps reduce vessel emissions.

IMCA’s leadership, spanning technical guidance, advocacy, and sustainability efforts, makes it indispensable to the diving industry, ensuring that members thrive in a challenging and evolving offshore environment.
