Safety Through Education
At DAN, our vision is to make every dive accident- and injury-free. Our series of online courses is designed to provide dive professionals and businesses with knowledge that can improve safety and reduce risk. DAN members are eligible for an additional 5% discount on their liability insurance premium after completing the e-learning.
Barotrauma Legal Drama Course Overview
As the industry’s leading provider of professional liability insurance, DAN has firsthand insight into the types of accidents and lawsuits that occur most often in diving. This course follows a fictional barotrauma incident from open-water training through a legal deposition, and it aims to help dive pros promote safe practices and make decisions that protect both their divers and their careers.
