DAN

What is DAN ?         

DAN stands for Divers Alert Network, which means in English: "the alert network of divers".

DAN was born in 1980 on the initiative of a few internationally recognized scientists and university professors, and this simultaneously in the USA and Italy, because they understood how much the management of diving accidents required specific skills that were not usually present in current health structures.

In addition, DAN brings its expertise for diving medicine problems, conducts scientific research on diving safety, organizes courses and congresses that aim to increase the understanding of the medical phenomena inherent in scuba diving in order to increase the sense of responsibility of each diver, provides financial assistance and assists hyperbaric centers in developing countries.

DAN's mission is to maintain an international network of alarm centres, active 24 hours a day, in the event of an emergency, which guarantee each diver specialized assistance worldwide.
