La malaria es una amenaza de enfermedad infecciosa grave que existe principalmente en muchas de las regiones subtropicales y tropicales del mundo —áreas populares con los buzos— donde las condiciones ambientales respaldan a una población infectada y estable de mosquitos Anopheles.
This year DAN interns participated in two field studies — a cardiac study and a venous gas embolism study — where they had the opportunity to work directly with participants and collect and analyze data.

In 1943 a hyperbaric chamber in London reached an air pressure equal to 300 feet (91 meters), and nitrogen narcosis hammered the three dry divers inside. They reached for the rubber mouthpieces of their dive gear, which delivered 100% oxygen.
Indonesia’s archipelagic beauty and marine biodiversity lure divers from around the world. As the country’s popularity as an international dive destination grows, so does the complexity of dive safety. Protecting divers is no small feat across this landscape of more than 17,000 islands, many dotted with dive sites in remote locations lacking medical infrastructure.
Most flights are uneventful, with the worst experiences being an occupied lavatory or unexpected turbulence. Emergencies can happen, however, and aircraft passengers need to be prepared to react quickly and efficiently. In an emergency, knowing the proper evacuation procedures for your flight can mean the difference between safely concluding your trip or reaching a different final destination.
DAN’S NEW OFFICIAL PODCAST, The DANcast, delivers safety insights through engaging conversations from across the dive industry. This series blends practical knowledge with personal stories to inform and inspire the dive community.
DAN has introduced the Research Grant Program, designed to push the boundaries of dive safety through innovative research. The program will support studies that develop robust theories and empirical evidence that contribute to safer dive experiences.

When she turned 1 year old, her family moved to an old farm in Pennsylvania, not far from where George Washington crossed the Delaware River during the Revolutionary War.
