Insurance for Scuba Divers

Divers Alert Network, or commonly known as DAN, is insurance for scuba divers. DAN began in 1980 and today is the only 24-hour emergency hotline for injured divers. They also undertake vital diving medical research as well as offering educational programs for divers of all ages.
Fees and donations cover benefits that include $100,000 in assistance for any emergency medical evacuation, a subscription to Alert Diver magazine, publications by DAN and accident insurance coverage which is their main business. In the field of diver safety and emergency services, DAN’s vision is to the the most trusted and recognized, worldwide. DAN open a phone line for questions from divers with non-emergency questions in 1982 and in 1982, the federal grant money to DAN was cut back by 50% and the following year again it was cut by 25%. By 1984 their income comes only from divers in the industry and they then introduced their slogan of Divers helping divers.
In 2002 DAN added to its list of dive safety courses, training of automated external defibrillators and advanced oxygen and basic life support for professional divers.
