Otoscope Use
The otoscope is an important tool in helping to visualize the eardrum and determine if there has been trauma to the middle ear. You should not attempt to diagnose barotrauma yourself, but learning to use an otoscope and looking at the tympanic membrane of normal ears will help you to recognise when there may be a problem with a fellow diver’s ears and when that diver should seek the advice of a physician.
HIRA for Dive Professionals & Operators
The DAN Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) program was created to help you identify and mitigate the risks associated with running your business. This program is an adaptation of well-established HIRA practices used in aviation, medicine, manufacturing and other fields and by community-safety services worldwide. DAN adapted the program to address the real-world concerns of dive professionals, offering a realistic and pragmatic assessment of risks and strategies to mitigate them. DAN’s HIRA program is a fundamental element of DAN’s work to cultivate a culture of safety in the diving community; it’s value and usefulness are supported by industry experts as well as the full weight of DAN worldwide.

DAN’s new Safety Tips for Dive Operators guide identifies some of the risks involved with running a dive operation and what can be done to mitigate them. It outlines minimum safety standards for various aspects of dive operations and provides a foundation for refining safety protocols by offering dive safety officers and other dive pros a tested approach for assessing safety and modifying practices to prevent incidents and limit liability.
