About Divers Alert Network “Your Dive Safety Association”
Divers Alert Network or DAN is a non-profit organization dedicated to the safety and health of recreational scuba divers. DAN was Founded in 1980 and serves as a lifeline for the scuba industry by operating diving's only 24-hour emergency hotline, a lifesaving service for injured divers. Additionally, DAN operates a diving medical information line, conducts vital diving medical research, and develops and provides a number of educational programs for everyone from beginning divers to medical professionals.

DAN's Mission:
DAN helps divers in need with medical emergency assistance and promotes diving safety through research, education, products and services.
DAN's historical and primary function is to:

Provide emergency medical advice and assistance for underwater diving injuries, to work to prevent injuries and to promote diving safety.
Promote and support underwater diving research and education particularly as it relates to the improvement of diving safety, medical treatment and first aid.
Strive to provide the most accurate, up-to-date and unbiased information on issues of common concern to the diving public, primarily, but not exclusively, for diving safety. DAN is Your Dive Safety Association.

DAN's Vision:
Striving to make every dive, accident- and injury-free.
DAN's vision is to be the most recognized and trusted organization worldwide in the fields of diver safety and emergency services, health, research, and education by its members, instructors, sponsors, and recreational diving community at large.

DAN Products
DAN also offers an extensive range of products including a variety of books and videos on the subject of diving safety and health, as well as emergency oxygen equipment, AEDs and first-aid kits. Wet N Rugged Sports is pleased to be able to offer these to our customers, instructors, students, and others in need of DAN educational materials and emergency equipment.

DAN Training Courses
Coming soon! Wet N Rugged Sports will be providing DAN training courses for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or Professional Development Units (PDUs). These training courses are well structured, comprehensive, and specialized. The training programs will truly give you a spectacular set of skills to deal with virtually all diving and sport related serious accidents and injuries.

List of available DAN training courses:

	Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries As a recreational diver, you can receive training to provide vital first aid that can make a difference to a scuba diver with decompression illness. The DAN Oxygen Provider Course provides entry-level training in the recognition and management of possible diving-related injuries using emergency oxygen first aid.
	Oxygen First Aid for Aquatic Emergencies This course trains non-divers and professional rescuers (such as lifeguards) to recognize near-drowning / submersion incidents and other aquatic medical emergencies and to provide basic life support including the use of oxygen first aid.
	Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries This advanced-level program is designed to train existing DAN Oxygen Providers to use the MTV-100 or a Bag Valve Mask while providing care for a non-breathing injured diver.
	First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries Serious hazardous marine life injuries are rare, but most divers experience minor discomfort from unintentional encounters with fire coral, jellyfish and other marine creatures. This course teaches divers to minimize these injuries and reduce diver discomfort and pain.
	Automated External Defibrillators for Scuba Diving More than 10 percent of all dive fatalities are actually caused by cardiovascular disease, according to DAN dive accident and fatality statistics. This course teaches divers and other interested parties to provide care for sudden cardiac arrest including the use of an automated external defibrillator (AEDs).
	Automated External Defibrillators for Aquatic Emergencies When a person drowns, they may or may not inhale water. They normally enter cardiac arrest because of the inability to breathe. This course teaches interested parties to provide care for cardiac arrest by using an automated external defibrillator (AED).
	Basic Life Support for Dive Professionals The remote nature of dive accidents, whether a few hours from shore or days from civilization, frequently requires more advanced levels of care than are offered by traditional or entry-level CPR programs.
	Remote Emergency Medical Oxygen (REMO2™) The DAN Remote Emergency Medical Oxygen (REMO2™) system module supplements the DAN Oxygen First Aid in Scuba Diving Injuries course. Based on medical closed-circuit oxygen rebreather technology, the REMO2™ device provides injured divers with high concentrations of emergency oxygen for extended periods. This training course instructs the Oxygen Provider in the use of DAN's new REMO2™ system.
	On-Site Neurological Assessment for Divers Learn how to conduct a neurological assessment on a potentially injured diver in this course. The information gained in this assessment can help convince a diver of the need for oxygen first aid, and help a dive physician determine the proper treatment.
	Dive Accident First Aid for Non-Divers This program is designed for nondivers and teaches them how to recognize the warning signs of decompression illness and help provide care for a diver involved in a dive emergency.
	Diving First Aid for Professional Divers This program is intended for divers who are required to have first aid, CPR and oxygen first aid training prior to diving as part of their job responsibilities. It combines the key skills of CPR and first aid training with the DAN Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries, AEDs for Scuba Diving and First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries courses.
	Diving Emergency Management Provider Program Learn the knowledge and skills from several courses into one single approach to dive emergency management.
	Diving Emergency Specialist (DES) Learn about DAN’s new recognition program for divers who are interested in dive safety.
	Diving Medical Technician Take the next step in diving education. Become a DMT and learn about providing care for divers involved in dive accidents.
	Instructor Qualification Course To become a DAN Instructor you must complete the Instructor Qualification Course (IQC). Instructor Candidates will complete a Core Module that offers more information about DAN and explains how to teach DAN programs. Candidates will then complete the course module for each DAN Training Program they are interested in teaching.
	Instructor Trainer Workshop This program teaches scuba diving Instructor Trainers to teach the DAN Instructor Qualification Course and train DAN Instructors. Only DAN Staff Members can offer this program.
