Insights into this activity were provided in the diving tower during the Night of Science. Divers demonstrated their tasks and fields of activity live underwater, as well as the measurement technology used in their work. In addition to the operation of underwater measuring devices, the safety of the divers is the top priority in every mission. Furthermore, exciting research projects were presented with exhibits and videos and all questions were answered by experienced divers at the stand.
