DAN World Latin America/Caribe

DAN helps divers in need of medical emergency assistance and promotes dive safety through research, education, products, and services. Divers Alert Network (DAN), a nonprofit organization, exists to provide expert medical information for the benefit of the diving public.

DAN’s historic and primary function is to provide timely information and assistance for underwater diving injuries, to work to prevent injuries, and to promote dive safety.

Second, DAN promotes and supports underwater dive research and education, particularly as it relates to the improvement of dive 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 dive safety.
