Fatality and Injury Monitoring at DAN

The Divers Alert Network (DAN) monitors diving fatalities and injuries to help understand and prevent future incidents. They aim to gather detailed information from local authorities within 48 hours of a fatality. Often, investigators may lack diving knowledge, leaving gaps in critical data like divers’ certification and dive profiles. DAN collaborates with various organizations to improve incident reporting and analyze root causes of fatalities. Their objective is to provide closure to victims’ families while promoting safety in the diving community.
