A key element of the DAN Mission is educating the diving public and the medical profession on the appropriate care for divers injured in dive accidents. This education takes on many forms, disseminating information on topics related to dive safety through articles, reports, seminars, lectures and training programs.

Have you followed the incident on the Dive Talk channel? Is there any reason to get insurance from you in the future? Does the money go to these videos but you don't get help when you need it?

Thank you for contacting the DAN Southern Africa team and asking such an important question. Unfortunately, DAN Southern Africa can’t comment on the case you are referring to because DAN Southern Africa was not involved in the case management. You are referring to a DAN America case managed by their team. DAN America has released online information regarding the incident and their involvement. You can read the information using this link: dan.org/safety-prevention/diver-safety/divers-blog/abaco-cave-diver-evacuation/ DAN Southern Africa has helped thousands of divers in remote dive destinations for over 20 years. We have developed many procedures to assist our members who travel to dive destinations, particularly remote ones. We do this through the DAN Dive Travel Notification system available via the DAN Southern Africa website(www.dansa.org). Submitting a travel notification to the DAN Emergency and Information Hotline team ensures that the DAN Hotline team knows when you travel and notes this on our system. This information helps us assist you with fast and speedy service when needed. With the information provided, we can plan potential evacuation procedures and advise you on the availability of appropriate facilities at your dive destination. The online DAN Dive Travel Notification form is easily accessible on the DAN Southern Africa website (www.dansa.org). To access the DAN Dive Travel Notification form, look at the yellow tab on the right-hand side of the website. The yellow DAN Dive Travel Notification tab is available on each DAN Southern Africa website page. For your convenience, here is the direct link to the DAN Dive Travel Notification webpage - www.dansa.org/dive-trip-notification To help improve emergency planning, DAN has created a range of resources to assist divers and DAN members when planning a dive trip. Below are a few resources to consider that will assist divers with their personal dive emergency planning before departing on a dive trip. * DAN Dive Trip Travel Guide - issuu.com/dansouthernafrica/docs/dan-travel-medical-guide-2022?fr=sYWU2NjUxNTg5NTQ * Free DAN dive safety and emergency planning resources - www.dansa.org/dan-resources Quick go to DAN videos on emergency planning: * Assume Responsibility Introduction - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3Kte4Z7fL19qLMsi=VdiG0ZHZE5D1guNK * Emergency Action Plan - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6a3n5VofcRjr8ksi=lHbMHyDqK8bIfkqw Additional note: DAN Southern Africa is not an insurance company and does not sell insurance or medical healthcare/aid products. DAN is a non-profit diving emergency assistance organisation that uses a group insurance policy to extend emergency medical cover benefits to its members for certain travel, medical and diving-related emergencies in support of its mission. The dues from our members are used to fund the organisation. DAN’s primary and most important mission is dive safety and every one of DAN’s activities is dedicated to this purpose, from assisting divers in emergency situations to developing and implementing safety projects and programmes and furthering dive medicine and safety research. We trust the above information was helpful. Once again, thank you for reaching out to the DAN Southern Africa team with your question.
