Congratulations to Dr. Masykurin and Dr. Syahmi!
Both have successfully completed the Operational Underwater Medicine (Level 2D) certification at Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, South Africa.
This intensive program is accredited by the European Diving Technology Committee (EDTC), the Diving Medical Advisory Committee (DMAC), and the European College of Baromedicine (ECB). It equips medical practitioners with the skills to provide operational medical support for divers and commercial diving companies from chamber drills and emergency management under pressure to hands-on exposure with diving gear, saturation systems, and underwater operations.
By completing Level 2D, they have now earned the title of Diving Medicine Physician, a significant advancement from Level 1, which carries the Diving Medical Officer designation.
The course brought together participants from across the globe, representing diverse fields such as occupational health, public health, ENT, internal medicine, emergency medicine, aviation medicine, and neurosurgery. Beyond the academic and practical training, they also built valuable professional networks in the diving and hyperbaric medicine community.
Despite this remarkable milestone, both doctors remain commited to their primary role as Emergency Medicine Physicians, serving patients on the frontline while expanding their expertise in diving and hyperbaric care.
