The aftermath of the COVID pandemic has had a major impact on many factors in our lives, and the global diving industry was no different, and at the GO Diving Show, Oli van Overbeek will be looking at the changing face of the UK dive industry.
Oli van Overbeek is a technical instructor trainer, examiner, course author and COO for RAID UK, and he has been diving for 25 years, predominantly in cold waters. He'll be taking to the UK / Tech Stage from 12.45pm-1.30pm on Sunday 5 March.
He will be at the RAID stand at the GO Diving Show all weekend talking about training methodology and exciting new plans for RAID in 2023 and 2024 in reflection of the changing landscape the UK industry is facing.
