  abstract = {{T}he {F}rench {N}ational {C}ommittee for {S}cientific {D}iving ({CNPS}) takes on different tasks including acting as an observatory of occupational scientific diving practices and innovations ({T}houzeau et al., 2019). {S}ince 1991 in {F}rance, scientific diving has been recognized by law as an occupational sector and is therefore regulated with the aim to reduce the hyperbaric risk. {C}urrently, {F}rench scientific diving encompasses many fields such as life sciences and ecology, geosciences, social & cultural sciences including archeology, health & food, engineering sciences, energy... {D}ue to the existence of overseas territories - with {F}rance's maritime spaces representing the world's second largest exclusive economic zone - {F}rench territories display an extensive variety of submarine habitats. {F}urthermore, the historical richness of scientific diving in {F}rance has led the {F}rench scientific diving community to be involved in all oceans worldwide. {A}ll subaquatic ecosystems, from the polar regions to the tropical belt, from drowned karsts to freshwater and high altitude lakes, including mesocosms and artificial structures are studied by diving scientists. {O}n top of the traditional diving methods (apnea, open circuit and hookah) scientific diving benefits in recent years from the use of closed-circuit rebreathers but also from combining {CCR} and saturation methods, which greatly enhanced the study of the mesophotic zones. {I}n light of the diversity of environments, disciplines and scientific issues, scientific divers are continuously innovating to perform outstanding research. {T}his presentation will outline the recent work of the last decade highlighting the importance of scientific diving in science (in {F}rance).},
