If you have been diving for many years, you may have heard of the Divers Alert Network (DAN). DAN was established in Durham, North Carolina (USA) and promotes safety diving. It offers diving medical assistance worldwide via a telephonic hotline, which is open 24 hours a days.
Divers Alert Network - DAN
DAN is a non profit organization that promotes safety in diving 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 several programs to divers. It also has a medical insurance plan that covers transport and emergency care. It also provides members with the latest information regarding recreational scuba diving. Members have the ability to access educational and medical resources and products. They also get notification about emergency situations and other important information.
Insurance to cover a diving accident
DAN Dive Scuba Diving Accident Insurance protects members from the financial cost of an underwater accident. The cost of membership for an individual is $35, and for a family it's $55. It allows the DAN to carry out research regarding safety and emergency medical assistance. Purchasing accident insurance is not required for membership, but it is a good idea to consider it before diving.
DAN insurance covers divers in a number of ways. Depending on your needs, you can choose a plan that covers medical costs from an accident, as well as the loss or damage of your diving equipment. Some plans also cover medical evacuation costs if you are more than 50 miles away from your residence.
Project Dive Exploration
DAN USA and DAN DAN formed the PDE data base in 2000. This database has information about recreational, mixed, and decompression dives. There are currently 137,451 profiles on the PDE computer database. This data is collected through field work and laboratory studies.
PDE stands for Project Dive Exploration. You can share your profile information if you are a DAN diver to help the charity. To enter the draw, you need to dive at least five times between May 28th 2007 and September 3, 2007. Divers who complete 10 dives or more will receive a commemorative t-shirt.
