East Coast Divers announced it is hosting an interactive virtual event, “Thriving As You Age: In Diving and In Life,” on October 20 at 8 p.m. US Eastern Time.
The event will explore how people can continue enjoying the activities they love while recognizing that their health, fitness and needs may change over time. Topics could range from:
- longevity,
- fitness for diving,
- changing health risks,
- immersion pulmonary edema and
- practical considerations for remaining active in and around the water.
Three speakers will bring perspectives from the diving, medical and safety communities:
- Dan Orr, former President and CEO of Divers Alert Network (DAN).
- Dr. Charlotte Yeh, former Chief Medical Officer of AARP.
- Jasmine Gale, MD, a board-certified emergency medicine physician and divemaster who holds diplomas in Mountain Medicine and Diving & Marine Medicine and is a Fellow of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine.
Virtual attendance is limited to 50 participants to make room for questions and discussion. The format will give attendees an opportunity to engage directly with the speakers about issues that matter to them.
Tickets are $50/~€44 per person. The event will support East Coast Divers and Operation Phoenix as the business continues its recovery following the fire at its Brookline shop.
Throughout the recovery, ECD has continued teaching classes, servicing equipment, organizing trips and supporting its diving community:
“This event continues that commitment by creating space for an accessible conversation about health, safety and lifelong participation in diving.”
