DAN now has access to a network comprised of legal professionals with an interest in diving and who are experienced in local and international law.  This team is thus well suited to deal with all legal issues related to diving activities and events, and to provide members with the highest level of legal assistance.

DAN Southern Africa members who are in need of diving related legal assistance can contact DAN via email danlegal@dansa.org.  The DAN legal team will consider all requests and will respond to the member with their initial advice. If required by the circumstances of the enquiry, DAN will refer the member to an appropriate legal expert within the network. The legal expert will then make appropriate suggestions to the enquiring member on how best to represent or defend their interests.

In the event that a matter is referred by DAN to a legal expert, any further costs including the costs of those legal services is not covered by DAN membership benefits. As such, the legal expert will advise members in advance of any fees that are payable and what anticipated costs may be.  There is, however, no cost to submitting an enquiry to the DAN Legal Network (using the online request form) to obtain the initial advice from the DAN Legal Team.
