Before an Incident Happens
For more than 30 years DAN members have shared how DAN was there for them.
Alert Diver Issue: Q4 2026
Puget Sound
Spectral light dances on the water from across Puget Sound as the Seattle skyline glitters on the horizon.
Someone Looking Back
At first she is almost nothing: a slight distortion in the reef, a suggestion of movement where the reef should be still.
Exiting the Water
Diving requires proper planning and equipment maintenance, including your body. In the final minutes of a dive, a tired diver must swim to the boat, climb a ladder, and haul gear onto the deck.
Diving the Guvernøren
Antarctica doesn’t have many diveable wrecks, making the Guvernøren a unique dive.
A Case for the 220-Volt Power Strip
While stuck in traffic in Bali, our group of 20 divers spied a local electronics store.
The Sargassum Surge
On a calm day, a mat of golden-brown sargassum can look like a tangle of seaweed riding the surface.
Fatality and Injury Monitoring Program
Every dive incident tells a story and offers an opportunity to learn.
When Time Matters
Remote diving requires self-sufficiency. From expedition liveaboards to offshore technical projects, divers operating beyond cellular network coverage understand that preparation, training, and redundancy are essential for safety.
Advancing Dive Safety Through Collaboration
DAN welcomed senior leadership from the U.S. Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) to its Durham, North Carolina, headquarters for a day focused on dive medicine, research, and exploring opportunities for closer collaboration.
