- Key DifferentiatorDAN started as the National Diving Accident Network (NDAN) in 1980 with the goal of establishing a 24-hour emergency hotline with access to physicians who were trained and experienced in the recognition, care, transportation and recompression therapy of diving injuries. Within the first year alone, the idea proved so popular that a second, non-emergency line was created to handle the demand for medical and dive safety information. In 1983, NDAN became a membership organization in order to reduce its reliance on federal grants and changed its name to Divers Alert Network (DAN). As membership and the number of divers served by DAN grew, DAN recognized the need to assist injured divers with the financial challenges of treating diving injuries. In 1987, DAN pioneered the first dive accident insurance program, and membership doubled within a year. Emergency medical evacuation, now called DAN TravelAssist®, was added as a member benefit in 1992. Today DAN offers a variety of insurance plans, including dive accident, trip, equipment, life and disability. DAN became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1990. The organization was a model for improving dive safety in other parts of the world, and International DAN (IDAN) was established in 1991 to provide mutual support for regional DAN organizations worldwide. In response to its own research showing only one-third of injured divers were receiving 100 percent oxygen as first aid, DAN launched the first Oxygen First Aid training program in January 1991. Since then, DAN Education has trained more than 210,000 providers and now offers more than 15 different courses. More than 3,300 active DAN Instructors teach DAN programs independently as part of their diving and safety programs.
