Divers Alert Network - DAN
DAN is non-profit organization that works to improve safety diving for all. The organization offers 24-hour telephonic assistance to divers. It was established in Durham North Carolina. You can call 800-999-DAN anytime of the day or night.
DAN offers several programs to divers. It also has a medical insurance plan that covers transport and emergency care. The site also offers the latest information about recreational diving. Members have access to a variety of medical and educational materials, and can also receive notifications about events and emergency situations.
Insurance for scuba diving accidents
DAN dive insurance covers members against the financial consequences of an underwater accident. For $35 per person, or $55 per family, membership is required. The DAN also uses it to conduct research and offer emergency medical assistance. Although membership is not required, purchasing accident insurance before diving is a smart idea.
DAN offers divers insurance that covers a wide range of risks. There are a number of plans available that can cover your medical costs in the event of an accident as well as your equipment's loss or damage. If you are located more than 50 kilometers from your home, many plans cover medical evacuation.
Project Dive Exploration (PDE)
The DAN and DAN USA teamed up in the early 2000s to create the PDE Database. This database has information about recreational, mixed, and decompression dives. The PDE computer data base currently includes 137.451 profiles. This data is collected through field work and laboratory studies.
PDE is an acronym for Project Dive Exploration. DAN divers are eligible to share their profiles information and 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. All divers who complete at least 10 dives will be eligible to win a commemorative tee-shirt.
