“Lichamelijke Beperking - Beperking voor Duiken?” is de titel van de succesvolle verdiepingscursus duikgeneeskunde die door de Scott Haldane Foundation i.s.m. de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Duikgeneeskunde is ontwikkeld. De reacties na de vorige cursus waren uiterst positief. Zonder uitzondering sprak iedereen van een eye opener.
