Extreme Exposure
Richard Moon, M.D., has spent his career studying phenomena of great interest to scuba divers — including decompression sickness. Learn more about the researcher Richard Moon.
Diving with Dinosaurs
Considered critically endangered, smalltooth sawfish are under pressure from anglers who would take their rostrums as souvenirs and from the shark-fin trade. Many divers can go their whole lives without seeing one.
Saturation Diving
What is saturation diving? When the diver breathes in inert gas, it dissolves into the body’s tissues and reaches equilibrium with the ambient pressure at the diver’s depth.
Recompression Chamber Safety
Instead of simply listing requirements relevant to the safe recompression of injured recreational divers, DAN identified real, likely hazards, quantified their significance and presented mitigation guidance for each.
