DAN has offered a wide variety of safety initiatives over the past 40 years in an attempt to prevent incidents and accidents and enhance dive safety. Our diving research, incident monitoring, accident prevention and accident evaluation programs have gone a long way to make diving safer than ever before. The DAN Hazard Identification and Risk assessment, or HIRA, program takes our commitment to safety to an even higher level. Our publications, educational courses and resources all convey important perspectives about the risks in diving and ways to best mitigate them.
Through HIRA, DAN engages directly with dive professionals and business, providing resources, support, training, advice and even essential safety equipment to qualifying operators.
