Tropical reefs are one of the most complex and diverse ecosystems\, offering a glimpse of nature’s beauty as well as its chemical and toxinological fury. This lecture will consider relevant toxinological aspects of marine life and strategies for marine injury management. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThat Was Close: Learning From Diving Mishaps\n\nBy Frauke Tillmans\, PhD \n\n\n\nWe explore real-world incidents where divers narrowly avoided disaster. Through case studies and expert insights\, the session highlights how missteps — whether technical\, procedural\, or human — can escalate underwater. Attendees will gain practical strategies for risk mitigation\, decision-making under pressure\, and fostering a safety-first mindset to prevent future mishaps. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnderstanding NOAA’s New CNS Oxygen Guidelines\n\nBy Dawn Kernagis\, PhD\, and Frauke Tillmans\, PhD \n\n\n\nThe U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) established the central nervous system (CNS) oxygen toxicity exposure limits table in 1991. In this talk we will explain why the recent CNS oxygen limits revision was needed\, review the new evidence that was the basis for the change\, detail the specifics of the revision\, and discuss what it all means for technical divers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCardiovascular Fitness to Dive: What Every Dive Professional Needs to Know\n\nBy Douglas Ebersole\, MD \n\n\n\nRecent data suggest that up to 50% of all diving deaths are associated with underlying cardiovascular disease. This presentation will discuss the scope of the problem\, workloads associated with scuba diving\, who is at greatest risk\, how we can best prevent cardiovascular disease in divers\, and which divers with known cardiovascular disease can safely return to scuba diving.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n2026 DAN Instructor\, Instructor Trainer\, and Examiner Update\n\nBy JoAnn Perry\, MSE \n\n\n\nDivers Alert Network Instructors\, Instructor Trainers\, and Examiners are invited to attend the 2026 Update. This session will cover improvements and changes from the past year and provide an outlook on changes coming in the year ahead. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEverything You Need To Know About DAN \n\nBy Shelli Wright\, Angela Williams\, and Nathalie Judkins \n\n\n\nJoin 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\, dive accident coverage\, trip and travel insurance\, and liability coverage. Learn how you can use these programs to better serve your customers\, mitigate risk\, and grow your business. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarine Life Toxinology Session 2\n\nBy Matias Nochetto\, MD \n\n\n\nObserving marine life is one of the main reasons many people dive; it is also the reason some people are afraid to dive. Tropical reefs are one of the most complex and diverse ecosystems\, offering a glimpse of nature’s beauty as well as its chemical and toxinological fury. This lecture will consider relevant toxinological aspects of marine life and strategies for marine injury management. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAluminum Cylinder Summit: From Manufacture to Retirement \n\nExpert Panel led by DAN \n\n\n\nThis two-part series\, led by DAN\, will focus on the safety and durability of aluminum scuba cylinders. This session brings together three leading experts in our industry — Armando Ramirez from Catalina Cylinders\, Jimmy W. Horton from Thunderbird Cylinders\, and Mark Gresham\, President of PSI-PCI.In Part One\, the panel will address frequently asked questions and persistent misconceptions about aluminum scuba cylinders. The focus is on cylinder design and how long they can safely remain in service. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAluminum Cylinder Summit: How To Destroy Your Cylinder\n\nBy Expert Panel led by DAN \n\n\n\nThis two-part series\, led by DAN\, will focus on the safety and durability of aluminum scuba cylinders. This session brings together three leading experts in our industry — Armando Ramirez from Catalina Cylinders\, Jimmy W. Horton from Thunderbird Cylinders\, and Mark Gresham\, President of PSI-PCI.Part Two dives deeper into common forms of misuse and damage that can lead to serious and even catastrophic failures. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNOT As Seen on TV: CPR\, First Aid\, and Oxygen Administration Myths\n\nBy JoAnn Perry MSE \n\n\n\nWe see lots of emergency responses depicted in movies and on TV\, and they are often dramatized for the screen. This session will cover common misconceptions and fallacies and clarify what you can really expect to see during emergency responses. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond Risk: Dive Accident Management and Prevention for Your Dive Business\n\nBy Laura Johnson\, Nathalie Judkins\, and Patti Suggs\, MS \n\n\n\nStrengthen your dive business by developing effective accident management and prevention protocols — or enhancing your existing protocols. This seminar will provide strategies to protect divers\, staff\, and the business while promoting a culture of safety above and below the surface. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFirst Annual Examiners Meeting\n\nBy JoAnn Perry\, MSE \n\n\n\nDAN Examiners are invited to attend this inaugural meeting. We look forward to introducing you to our training team and discussing upcoming changes and ideas for DAN training. Because of your experience\, we will lean on you for your ideas and knowledge. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPFO and Diving: Understanding and Managing the Risks\n\nBy Douglas Ebersole\, MD \n\n\n\nA patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a normal variant found in around 25% of the population that results in a flap between the two upper chambers of the heart. This flap can allow the passage of bubbles from the venous system into the arterial system\, which may result in decompression sickness (DCS). This presentation will cover the anatomy and pathophysiology of PFO as it relates to divers and DCS\, management strategies to decrease the risk of DCS in the presence of a PFO\, and PFO closure — a controversial procedure used in a small subset of divers who experience certain forms of DCS. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDive Into Hydration: The Science Behind Keeping Quenched\n\nBy Frauke Tillmans\, PhD \n\n\n\nThis talk explores the critical role of hydration in diving safety and physiological resilience. Dehydration increases the risk of DCS\, impairs thermoregulation\, and affects cognitive and physical performance underwater. We’ll examine fluid balance challenges unique to divers\, including immersion diuresis and dry gas breathing\, and discuss evidence-based hydration strategies before\, during\, and after dives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter Bios\n\n\n\n\nDAN Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMatias Nochetto\, MD\n\n\n\nMatias is the Vice President\, Medical Services\, at DAN\, where he has worked since 2006.

Gresham\n\n\n\nMark A. Gresham is the owner\, President & CEO of Professional Scuba Inspectors\, Inc.- Professional Cylinder Inspectors\, Inc. \n\n\n\nMark began SCUBA diving in 1977 as a young boy in Florida\, thus began a lifelong passion for scuba diving. While in the US Marine Corps he became a certified diver.  He was certified as a Scuba Instructor in 1991\, PSI Cylinder Inspector in 1996\, PSI Inspector Instructor in 1999 and a PSI Instructor Trainer 2001. Mark has attended many training courses and seminars with US DOT\, OSHA\, NASA and several colleges learning subjects related to cylinders. Mark apprenticed under several notable cylinder manufacturing engineers and metallurgists learning all aspects of manufacturing and testing. \n\n\n\nWith Bill High\, founder of PSI\, Inc. as his mentor\, Mark became a member of the PSI Executive Team in 1999 and contributed directly to the development of scuba cylinder safety guidelines\, training materials and published cylinder safety bulletins.  He co-authored the 5th edition\, INSPECTING CYLINDERS book. \n\n\n\nAs a PSI-PCI Instructor\, Mark has conducted countless inspection courses and safety seminars for SCUBA centers\, SCUBA clubs\, public forums\, hydro re-qualifiers\, fire departments\, all military services\, cylinder manufacturers\, NASA\, NOAA and in support of industry trade shows. \n\n\n\nMark provides technical information and consulting to cylinder manufacturers\, the US Department of Transportation\, Compressed Gas Association\, fire associations\, NOAA\, NASA and all branches of the US Military and foreign militaries.  He works closely with government and industry investigators of high-pressure cylinder related accidents. Mark worked with industry experts and specialists to develop the widely recognized training programs for oxygen cleaning of cylinders (the protocol used now by NASA). \n\n\n\nIn 2006\, Mark added Professional Cylinder inspectors (PCI) as an all-encompassing entity for cylinder inspection training outside the scuba industry\, now providing training for beverage industry\, aviation\, medical and other areas where high pressure cylinders are utilized. He is instrumental in raising awareness among gas industry constituents for the merits of cylinder safety and visual inspection. He provides the most comprehensive\, up to date and specialized Federally required Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) training in most segments of the gas industry.   \n\n\n\nThe most direct measure of Mark’s influence and success toward the reduction in pressurized gas cylinder failures was zero accidents in 2015. There is no doubt that lives have been saved and certainly injuries prevented by Mark Gresham’s dedication to high pressure cylinder safety training broadly offered in the world today.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDAN Members-Only Social Returns\n\n\n\nJoin DAN and your fellow dive industry professionals at the DAN Social at DEMA to enjoy an evening of conversation\, drinks\, and fun.
