(Click on name of course for link to DAN Course Information from the DAN website)

(Some, noted, are available and taught as both Dan and PADI distinctive specialties)

Dan is challenging all interested divers to pursue and achieve the level of DES, a training recognition program designed to commend divers who have continued their education and training in order to obtain knowledge and be both better buddies and better divers. Prerequisite: Rescue diver or above, current in CPR/First Aid.

Dive Accident First Aid for Non-divers

This program is designed for non-divers and teaches them how to recognize the warning signs of decompression illness and help provide care for a diver involved in a dive emergency. Often, non-divers end up having to care for divers in a dive emergency, so let's give them the tools to help us!

Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries

DAN/PADI certification available
As a recreational diver, you can receive training to provide vital first aid that can make a difference to a scuba diver with decompression illness. The DAN Oxygen Provider Course provides entry-level training in the recognition and management of possible diving-related injuries using emergency oxygen first aid.

Oxygen First Aid for Aquatic Emergencies
This course trains non-divers and professional rescuers (such as lifeguards) to recognize near-drowning / submersion incidents and other aquatic medical emergencies and to provide basic life support including the use of oxygen first aid.

First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries

DAN/PADI certification available
Serious hazardous marine life injuries are rare, but most divers experience minor discomfort from unintentional encounters with fire coral, jellyfish and other marine creatures. This course teaches divers to minimize these injuries and reduce diver discomfort and pain.

Automated External Defibrillators for Scuba Diving

DAN/PADI certification available
More than 10 percent of all dive fatalities are actually caused by cardiovascular disease, according to DAN dive accident and fatality statistics. This course teaches divers and other interested parties to provide care for sudden cardiac arrest including the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED’s).

Automated External Defibrillators for Aquatic Emergencies
When a person drowns, they may or may not inhale water. They normally

enter cardiac arrest because of the inability to breathe. This course teaches

interested parties to provide care for cardiac arrest by using an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Basic Life Support for Dive Professionals
The remote nature of dive accidents, whether a few hours from shore or days from civilization, frequently requires more advanced levels of care than are offered by traditional or entry-level

Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries
This advanced-level program is designed to train existing DAN Oxygen Providers to use the MTV-100 or a Bag Valve Mask while providing care for a non-breathing injured diver.

Remote Emergency Medical Oxygen (REMO2)

The DAN Remote Emergency Medical Oxygen (REMO2) system module supplements the DAN Oxygen First Aid in Scuba Diving Injuries course. Based on medical closed-circuit oxygen rebreather technology, the REMO2 device provides injured divers with high concentrations of emergency oxygen for extended periods. This training course instructs the Oxygen Provider in the use of DAN’s new REMO2 system.

On Site Neurological Assessment for Divers

Learn how to conduct a neurological assessment on a potentially injured diver in this course. The information gained in this assessment can help convince a diver of the need for oxygen first aid, and help a dive physician determine the proper treatment.
