Our Story
The story of SCUBA DIABETES Suisse / Svizzera / Schweiz draws inspiration from the pioneering journey of the Italian association Diabete Sommerso ODV, which has been committed for many years to enabling people living with diabetes to practice scuba diving in complete safety.
The project was born in 2004 within the Diabetology department of Niguarda Hospital, under the leadership of Professor Matteo Bonomo, with the development of the first studies dedicated to scuba diving activity in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus. This initiative led, in 2011, to the founding of the Diabete Sommerso ODV association.
