Dive Accident Insurance *
DAN is supported by membership dues and offers members accident insurance in partnership with insurance companies. Through its nonprofit efforts DAN first recognized the need for scuba divers to have insurance to help cover the cost of treatment for scuba diving injuries. DAN fulfilled that need by partnering with insurance companies to develop diving’s first dive accident insurance program, still the industry leader 25 years later.
Diver Safety Resources
One of DAN’s best-known resources is the 24-hour DAN Emergency Hotline, which stands ready every hour of the day to help scuba divers in need. But DAN offers a number of non-emergency resources as well, including the DAN Information Line, medical FAQs, online seminars and video lectures, real-time webinars, articles, quizzes and more.
Divers Helping Divers
DAN has always been about the partnership between our organization and the scuba divers who support it.
