DAN · Divers Alert Network
When a dive goes wrong, who answers the phone?
DAN is the Divers Alert Network. For decades they have run the emergency hotline divers call when something goes wrong underwater or far from home. Membership and dive accident coverage mean help is one call away, anywhere you dive. Every diver should have it.
The moment you hope never comes
You train for the emergency you hope never comes. DAN is who you call when it does.
Picture it. You surface from a dive in another country. Something is not right. Your buddy needs a chamber, an evacuation, a doctor who understands diving. That is not a moment to be searching for a phone number or wondering what your travel insurance covers.
DAN members get access to the DAN Emergency Hotline and dive medical professionals who do this every day. Dive accident coverage helps with the costs most regular insurance will not touch, including chamber treatment and emergency evacuation.
