DAN "Dive Safe" Philosophy |
Whilst working as a dive Instructor in Dahab, Egypt, in 1999 I was
fortunate to be present at the time of a dive accident that resulted in
an injured diver and their dive partner, one with minor symptoms but
the other being afflicted by a severe case of type II DCS.
Whilst working as a dive Instructor in Dahab, Egypt, in 1999 I was
fortunate to be present at the time of a dive accident that resulted in
an injured diver and their dive partner, one with minor symptoms but
the other being afflicted by a severe case of type II DCS. The
training that I received as a DAN Oxygen provider, and subsequently
administered, helped prevent more serious injury to the divers, and
gave them a better chance of recovery. It was at this time that I
decided I wanted to be a DAN Instructor for their training programs,
even if I never ever used my diving first aid skills again, it would
give me the opportunity to promote safe diving and help other divers
know exactly what steps to take in the event of a multiple injured
diver scenario. The DAN programs that I offer have helped to
educate the Instructors I train, better prepare them for emergency
scenarios, but most importantly to give them a means to share their
level of diver first aid with the students that they train.
A little bit about DAN, the Divers Alert Network non-profit medical and
research organization dedicated to the safety and health of
recreational scuba divers and associated with Duke University Medical
Center. DAN is supported by the largest association of recreational
divers in the world. Founded in 1980, DAN has served 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 provides comprehensive training to the dive community by
disseminating the latest information on topics related to diving safety
through articles, reports, seminars, lectures and training programs.
Divers Alert Network, a nonprofit organization, exists to provide
expert information and advice for the benefit of the diving public.
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. Second, DAN promotes and
supports underwater diving research and education particularly as it
relates to the improvement of diving safety, medical treatment and
first aid. Third, DAN strives 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.
The DAN programs that I offer have been developed by DAN to make you a
better educated and dive safety orientated professional, in the
unlikely event that you are required to use your dive medical training
you can be assured that the training you receive through DAN programs
will allow you to provide the most comprehensive, ‘up to date’ first
aid treatment and provide the best chances for an injured divers
recovery.
