Broadcast teams are welcome at AWI - BAH to report about our underwater scientific work around Helgoland island and the Southern North Sea. Broadcast teams can either visit Helgoland as a complete diving group or ask for diver support by the AWI Center for Scientific Diving.

1. Before submitting any documents, please contact the head of the AWI-CSD for a general agreement on the possibility and the possible time for a stay at the Biologische Anstalt Helgoland.

To support and/or integrate broadcast teams in our diving shedule, teams should provide the following documents at least 2 month prior to the visit.

1. AWI dive mission application form for the planned visit. The form can be submitted online here.
2. Valid certificates as "geprüfter Forschungstaucher" or "European Scientific Diver" for all group members according to GUV-R 2112.
3. For complete teams, name of a competent and experienced dive team leader with the certificate "Tauchereinsatzleiter" or "Advanced European Scientific Diver".

6. Valid document for "First Aid" training including CPR not olden than 2 years. For complete dive teams without diver support by the AWI, the dive team leader has to provide an appropriate certificate not older than 1 year.

As soon as all documents have been submitted, the AWI Center for Scientific Diving will finally decide (in close cooperation with the broadcast team leader), if and to which extend the broadcast team can/must be support to allow an efficient, successful and safe stay at the AWI CSD on Helgoland Island.
