No matter how frequently you dive, DAN membership and dive accident insurance are as essential to dive safety as your PADI training and gear. As the leader in dive training, PADI recognizes DAN’s global leadership in dive safety research and education.
For 40 years, DAN has helped divers through its 24/7 emergency hotline, medical information line and extensive dive health and safety publications. Those are just a few of the reasons that PADI partners with DAN — and so should you.
