Who is Diver's Alert Network?
Divers Alert Network (DAN) is a non-profit medical and research
organization dedicated to the safety and health of recreational scuba divers
and is
located at Duke University Medical Center. DAN is supported by
individual
divers and
by every
diver association
around the world.
Founded in 1980, DAN has served as a lifeline for the scuba industry by
operating diving's only 24-hour emergency hotline, a lifesaving service for
injured divers. Additionally, DAN operates a diving medical information line,
conducts vital diving medical research, and develops and provides a number of
educational programs for everyone from beginning divers to medical
professionals.
