DAN - Divers Alert Network
 Divers
Alert Network (DAN)
is a very unique recreational diver association! No diver should be without a
DAN membership card. DAN is a
not-for-profit organization that provides emergency medical advice and
assistance for underwater diving injuries, and underwrites a wide range of
research, education and training programs that promote safe diving. DAN is
supported by more than 200,000 fellow divers and growing with a further 60,000
international scuba divers supporting DAN Europe, DAN Japan, DAN Southeast Asia
Pacific and DAN Southern Africa.
DAN started in 1980 in
association with Duke
University
Medical
Center, initiating the 24-Hour Diving
Emergency Hotline for dive accidents and providing emergency assistance and
evacuation. It was quickly followed by a 9-5 information service and
award-winning magazine, Alert Diver devoted to your safety as a scuba diver.
DAN was the first to
initiate insurance for the specialized recompression or other medical or
evacuation services required in the event of a dive accident. DAN has trained
medical staff on call to assist you in the event of a dive emergency. DAN
initiated the use of
emergency oxygen first aid programs and is the largest distributor of emergency
oxygen equipment for the treatment of dive injuries.
DAN remains focused on
service to the community of recreational divers, providing the most accurate
up-to-date and unbiased information to the diving public, especially on diving
safety.
Mermaids
Dive Center have recommended the dive insurance through DAN and offered Divers Alert
Network's Oxygen First Aid for divers for many years but now Mermaids are
introducing a larger suite of DAN products for our divers. For those scuba
divers looking to find Australian dive jobs the
DAN courses are very important.
