Sign up for Temporary Dive Cover as a recreational diver, free-diver or spear fisherman.
With the temporary dive cover package you know that your dive trip is covered, it gives you
peace of mind when you are on the move and is taken for increments of five days at a
time. Cover is limited to diving outside your country of residence and only covers dive
related emergencies. Cover limit of R300,000.
DAN’s Student Cover (open water or equivalent courses) is free of charge to entry-level
students from the first pool session to the qualifying dive or for a duration of six weeks.
Recreational dive, freediving and spear fisherman entry-level students are all eligible. Cover
limit of R300,000.
This complimentary dive cover, fully subsidised by DAN, covers entry-level students in the
unlikely event of a dive injury during their entry-level training. As a diving-related injury or
illness can be costly, it pays to be prepared. While entry-level students focus on learning to
dive and getting comfortable underwater, DAN has them covered should an unexpected
incident occur — above or below water.
When you support DAN, you support the organization’s ongoing efforts to reduce dive
injuries and improve first response and medical treatment. One hundred percent of DAN’s
profits are reinvested in research, medical services and programs that make diving safer for
all divers. As a diver, you need DAN — and DAN needs you.
Every day, divers and emergency-response personnel around the world trust DAN’s oxygen
units and first-aid kits to perform in an emergency. That’s because DAN’s products have
been developed, tested and refined with input from leading doctors and researchers to
meet the discriminating requirements of the diving community. Be ready to respond.
Explore the DAN Shop to make sure you are prepared with the latest safety equipment to
effectively handle any dive emergency.
The human body wasn’t designed to breathe underwater, but with the right equipment and
proper training, almost anyone can become an underwater explorer. Unfortunately, to err is
human and accidents happen; but they don’t have to happen to you.
The five most common scuba diving accidents are preventable. That’s why Divers Alert
Network (DAN) created the Prepared Diver course.
Most divers don’t plan to run out of air or make an uncontrolled ascent, but there are
common, preventable mistakes that lead up to these emergencies. DAN’s Prepared Diver
course is based upon real-life dive accidents and uses engaging video modules to help divers
learn more about the science of diving so they can make informed decisions and minimise
risk.
Each video-based module covers one of the five main triggers of dive incidents. Once you
enroll your divers, they can access and review the information independently via DAN
eLearning.
Helps students recognise the factors that affect buoyancy and learn how to establish optimal weighting
Explores the physics affecting safe ascents in several types of dive environments and how to
ascend properly in each one.
Divers bear the ultimate responsibility for the decisions they make. This section shows what issues to pay attention to and what questions to ask.
At DAN, we believe a smarter diver is a safer diver. And when you’re 18 meters underwater,
you want to be certain that you have the knowledge needed to explore safely. That’s why,
for over 30 years, we have made it our mission to deliver extensive educational and dive
safety resources to help you stay safe — both in and out of the water.
Developed from decades of DAN research and experience, this comprehensive collection of free resource materials provides vital insights into topics critical to diver health and safety.
Each guide delivers relevant diver health and safety information in a concise, easyto- read format.
