Our identity

Vision

SCUBA DIABETES Switzerland was born from a clear vision: to make scuba diving an accessible, safe, and inclusive space for people living with diabetes.

We believe that diabetes should not be an obstacle to diving, but a reality to be understood and managed with confidence, autonomy, and responsibility.

Mission

Our mission is to promote safe diving practices while contributing to therapeutic education, quality of life, and the sharing of experiences related to diabetes.

We specifically act to:

  • promote safe and properly supervised scuba diving;
  • foster autonomy and self-confidence;
  • support scientific research;
  • create opportunities for exchange between interested individuals, health professionals, and scuba diving operators.

Values

Our activities are based on essential values:

  • safety;
  • inclusion;
  • trust;
  • autonomy;
  • sharing;
  • solidarity.

Areas of activity

Our actions are organized around three main pillars:

  • promoting accessible and safe scuba diving;
  • supporting research and diabetes awareness;
  • developing information and training for patients, families, health professionals, scuba diving operators, and anyone interested.
