Abstract:	Despite all the contingency planning that took place, the advent of COVID-19 has caused a thorough rethink when it comes to course organisation, interaction between students and academics, modes of assessment, and quality assurance. The Bachelor of Science in Diving Safety Management, run by the Institute of Tourism Studies in collaboration with DAN Europe, was no exception. The rationale behind this course was the need to have suitable professionals operating in a specialised sector that requires knowledge related to diving safety. The course is not only aimed at experienced practitioners who may wish to upgrade their theoretical knowledge, but also encourages young people to take up a career in this field.
