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 20 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, easy-to-read format.

Divers may report incidents online, which DAN uses to develop case summaries to serve as educational tools to prevent similar accidents from reoccurring.

In addition to DAN’s dive blog, active social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube provide another medium for us to engage with our network of divers.
