DAN Research Internship
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.
Changer la donne
Maintenir une distance respectueuse avec des espèces potentiellement dangereuses sous l’eau est une règle fondamentale de la plongée récréative et un sujet fréquemment abordé lors des briefings avant plongée sur les bateaux. Mais ces poissons venimeux, que vous avez appris à éviter, pourraient un jour vous sauver la vie

Photographier les cétacés
Capturer de belles images de baleines est l’une des expériences photographiques les plus gratifiantes pour un photographe sous-marin. Ces créatures majestueuses et charismatiques suscitent l’émerveillement, et le temps passé avec elles reste inoubliable.

Élaboration des directives sur la toxicité de l’oxygène
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.
Wearing Contact Lenses While Diving
Many divers wear contact lenses without issue during their dives. It’s crucial, however, to be aware of potential challenges, such as increased dryness or irritation due to factors like dry air in the dive mask, prolonged wear, mask squeezes, or exposure to saltwater. Maintaining good hygiene practices, including thorough handwashing before handling lenses and avoiding contamination, is essential.
Promouvoir la sécurité en plongée en Indonésie ( en anglais, traduction à venir)
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.
