What awaits us at Baltictech 2017? - CCR construction and how to survive at sea....

The Baltictech 2017 conference is fast approaching and the excitement is growing. What exactly will be waiting for us at the thresholds of the Science and Technology Park in Gdynia on the weekend of 25-26 November? This question arises repeatedly, so we decided to prepare an answer to it. We hope that our mini-cycle presenting the invited speakers and the topics they discuss will help you plan your time at the conference better and more efficiently!

Today will be short, concise and straight to the point. After all, a minimum of unnecessary matter is something that technical diving should be characterised by. And it is this that unites the speakers presented today at the Baltictech 2017 conference. Despite the fact that they deal with completely different fields, they are both unquestionable authorities in their fields, in which they have enormous knowledge and experience
