The DAN World Student Membership Program provides access to dive medical professionals, online safety information, and up to $25,000 in Student Dive Accident Insurance to help protect you against the costs of a covered diving accident occurring during your NAUI entry-level training.*

Student Dive Accident Insurance covers any diving activity, in or out of the water, that is necessary to meet the standards for receiving an entry-level diving certification for open circuit scuba or breath-hold diving, including, but not limited to, donning or removing dive equipment, entering and exiting the water, swimming, and diving. A diving activity begins the moment the student lifts their BCDs and continues until the moment their equipment is placed on the ground. A covered dive (includes breath-hold diving and snorkeling), begins the moment the student enters the water and ends the moment they exit the water.

For over 45 years, DAN’s mission has been to make every dive accident and injury free. Consistent with this goal, DAN World’s Student Membership Program is fully funded by DAN World.
