Divers Alert Network (DAN), is something you may have come across if your diving career has been long. DAN was established in Durham, North Carolina (USA) and promotes safety diving. The hotline is available 24 hours a day via telephonic phone and offers free medical assistance for divers all over the world.
Divers Alert Network (DAN)
DAN, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to improving safety and diving safety for all. The DAN organization, which was established in Durham, North Carolina provides 24 hour telephonic medical help to divers. The number is 800-999-DAN, and you can use it anytime, day or night.
DAN offers divers a variety of programs, including a medical plan that covers transport and emergency treatment. It also provides the latest information concerning recreational scuba diving. Members can have immediate access to educational and medical material, as well receive notifications of emergency situations and events.
Scuba diving accident insurance
DAN dive insurance covers members against the financial consequences of an underwater accident. For $35 per person, or $55 per family, membership is required. It also helps the DAN carry out research on the safety of diving and offers emergency medical assistance. Although not necessary for membership, it's a good idea.
DAN insurance covers divers in a number of ways. You can choose depending on your requirements a plan that covers both medical costs related to an accident and the loss or damages to your diving equipment. If you live more than 50 miles from your home, some plans will also pay for medical evacuation.
Project Dive Exploration (PDE).
DAN USA joined forces with the DAN in 2000 to create the PDE-database. This database contains information about recreational air, nitrox, mixed gas, and decompression diving. There are currently 137,451 profiles on the PDE computer database. These profiles are gathered via fieldwork, laboratory studies, or other research activities that improve diving safety.
PDE is an acronym for Project Dive Exploration. You can share your profile information if you are a DAN diver to help the charity. To be eligible for the drawing, all you have to do is dive for five minimum dives between May 28th & September 3rd 2007. A commemorative T-shirt will be given to divers who have completed 10 or more dives.
