PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT
This year DAN interns participated in two field studies — a cardiac study and a venous gas embolism study — where they had the opportunity to work directly with participants and collect and analyze data. The interns also worked on projects in the DAN office, including soldering and programming sensors to make them waterproof and usable during dives for research studies.
The interns also took small dive research trips throughout the summer, including the annual Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society’s Scientific Meeting, the Bauer Compressor factory, a tour of the Navy Experimental Diving Unit, and visits to dive gear manufacturers.
The DAN Research Internship is great for anyone with a passion for diving who is considering a career in dive research and wants to gain experience and connect with dive industry professionals. The application deadline for the summer 2025 internship is Jan. 15, 2025. For more information, visit dan.org/research-reports/get-involved/internships.
