Seminar Descriptions

Safety on Liveaboards

By Francois Burman, PE MSc

In recent years we’ve heard numerous reports of liveaboard calamities, but there are more that go unnoticed, except by the unfortunate parties involved. Liveaboard diving is essentially remote diving, and there are many considerations that must be planned and prepared for. Operators, trip leaders, dive professionals, and divers all have roles to play if we are to reduce accidents, property losses, and, especially, fatalities.

Fitness to Dive at the Dive Shop: Handling Last-Minute Uncertainty

By Matias Nochetto, MD

In this presentation we’ll discuss how to navigate those challenging last-minute fitness-to-dive questions that arise just before it’s time to board the boat. We’ll cover what you can do, what DAN can do for you, and what none of us can do.

How Feasible Is Personalized Decompression?

By Frauke Tillmans, PhD

In this presentation we’ll explore the intriguing topic of personalized decompression and its connection to bubble formation and individual physiology. With a focus on understanding the complexities of decompression stress and its relationship to DCS risk, we will dive into the challenges faced by dive researchers in studying individual physiology, discuss the limitations of current methods, explore the potential of new technologies, and outline why further research is needed.

Living Well with Dive Computers

By Neal Pollock, PhD

Dive tables offered the standard for controlling dive profiles for the first half of our modern diving history. The shift to relying on dive computers brought convenience, but also challenges. Most important now is that the wide range of available devices makes it difficult to sufficiently orient divers to them. This presentation will review key functions and options, some well-established and some fairly new, to aid in selection and best practices for use.

2025 DAN Instructor, Instructor Trainer, and Examiner Update

By JoAnn Perry MSE

Divers Alert Network Instructors, Instructor Trainers, and Examiners are invited to attend this 2025 Update. This session will cover improvements and changes from the past year and provide an outlook on changes coming in the year ahead.

Everything You Need To Know About DAN

By Shelli Wright and Angela Williams

Join us for an overview of DAN’s membership and insurance programs, and learn about all the great benefits available to you, your business, and your customers. We’ll cover DAN membership benefits, dive accident coverage, trip and travel insurance, and liability coverage, and there will be time to get answers to all your questions. Learn how dive pros and dive operators can use these programs to better serve their customers, mitigate risk, and grow their business.

Sun Exposure: UV Radiation

By Francois Burman, PE, MSc

Dive professionals, boat crews, and others who work in the industry are exposed to the sun for long periods, often daily. Dive clients may be unaware of how long they spend exposed to the sun’s UV radiation. While sunburn offers a reminder to use protection, the longer-term dangers are not all related to burns. Understanding how UV radiation affects us and using appropriate protection are essential to dive operators and professionals.

Hazards of Rebreather Diving

By Neal Pollock, PhD

Rebreathers provide both physiological and range benefits for divers, but these advantages come with the costs of increased complexity and related hazards. This presentation will briefly consider the benefits of rebreather diving and will then focus on the hazards that must be managed by rebreather divers.

Mild DCI, In-Water Recompression, and When to Freak Out: Dos and Don’ts

By Matias Nochetto, MD

Could you recognize a mild case of the bends? Could you distinguish a mild case from a serious one? In this presentation we’ll review red flags and put symptoms and risk factors in context to help you make good decisions.

Environmentally Friendly Dive Operations

By JoAnn Perry MSE

Much has been said about the importance of considering our environmental impact in the water, but have we also been diligent in other areas of our businesses? A look into other aspects of dive operations — out of the water — will generate new ideas about how we can be better stewards of our environment.

DAN Global Initiatives

By Nathalie Judkins, Laura Johnson, and Mel Cefai

From local-language emergency hotlines in Asia and Latin America to free first aid and oxygen training to dive support staff across Indonesia, DAN is doing more than ever to improve diver safety around the world. Join us as we highlight initiatives and projects happening now across the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia-Pacific, including donation of oxygen equipment, scholarships, grants, free student medical expense coverage, continuing medical education for hyperbaric doctors, research, and more.

Drowning from the Inside: The Ins, Outs, and Unknowns of IPE

By Emmanuel Dugrenot, PhD

During diving, cardiopulmonary changes can cause immersion pulmonary edema (IPE/IPO) and increase the risk of drowning. This talk presents an updated review of the mechanisms of IPE (known and suspected) that can lead to extravascular water accumulation in the lungs and “drowning from the inside.”

Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Courses

DAN has hosted the DAN Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine course since 1983. The accredited courses usually include lectures, case presentations, support materials, and both formal and informal discussion sessions with faculty.

Jointly provided by Divers Alert Network and Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, the course is designed primarily for physicians. However, emergency medical personnel, paramedics, nurses and professionals, as well as instructors, divemasters and nonmedical, diving-related personnel with an interest in dive medicine may also find the course valuable.

The program focuses on diving and hyperbaric medicine with emphasis on the latest scientific literature in the field. The course features lectures, case presentations and support materials as well as both formal and informal discussion sessions with faculty.

Through lectures, case presentations, printed support materials, and both formal and informal discussion sessions with the faculty, it is anticipated that attendees completing this course will be able to discuss and clinically apply facts relevant to scheduled topics. Upon completion, course participants should also benefit from a broader understanding of current issues and increased familiarity with recent, relevant scientific literature in diving and hyperbaric medicine. Learning will be reinforced by case reports from the DAN Medical Services Call Center (MSCC) Quality Assurance archives, examples from recent and ongoing diving research, and from the personal experience of the faculty.

At the end of this course attendees should be able to discuss and clinically apply facts relevant to:

Medical and physical fitness to dive

Diving safety issues and current research

Hyperbaric medicine: applications, protocols, and mechanisms

Decompression physiology and pathophysiology

Diving injuries and their management

Controversies in diving medicine
