Powered By DAN: Uniting the Industry for Safer Diving
Through the Powered By DAN program, dive training agencies can integrate the skills and standards of DAN’s basic life support, CPR, oxygen administration, and other course content into their first aid training.
Wetsuits and Urination
Urinating in a wetsuit is common for many recreational divers and is generally not harmful when exposure is limited. Immersion in water, especially cold water, triggers immersion diuresis, which shifts blood into the central circulation and increases urine production. Most divers feel that urge within minutes of entering the water.
Fire Suppression Systems on Liveaboards
Liveaboards typically rely on a layered approach to fire safety: using built-in suppression systems for engine spaces and galley areas paired with portable equipment for cabins and common spaces.
Stay Current, Stay Safe
Divers Alert Network (DAN) provides the industry’s most comprehensive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid training, grounded in evidence-based practices. Our programs leverage DAN’s research and medical expertise, along with the internationally recognized guidelines established by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR).

The Beat Goes on in Southwest New Providence
When I began working as a dive photojournalist for Skin Diver magazine in the mid-1980s I was like other photojournalists of that era, Rick Frehsee and Michael Lawrence. We all lived near enough to Miami International Airport so we could easily fly to Caribbean destinations to do articles. Our small posse was frequently sent on assignment to “the islands.”
