Get Started Right
DAN’s Giant Stride was designed to help new divers enhance their dive safety knowledge. A great companion piece to any entry-level course, this 52-page digital guide provides important information about scuba gear, dive planning, and dive etiquette.
After achieving certification, divers can continue to rely on the guide as a resource for diving physiology, health and fitness, and considerations for dive travel.
