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).
A New Chapter for DAN and the Dive Community
Stepping into the role of president and CEO of Divers Alert Network is both an honor and a responsibility I take seriously. For more than four decades DAN has been a trusted partner to divers around the world, providing medical guidance, emergency assistance, scientific insight, and peace of mind.
