The Divers Alert Network (DAN), a prominent name in the diving industry, has unveiled a new professional boat diving course. This course forms part of their ongoing "Continuing Education for Dive Professionals" program and is primarily designed to emphasize risk mitigation strategies on dive boats.

The new curriculum is the second in a series of professional development courses offered by DAN. These courses are aimed at providing diving professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills to manage risks associated with various aspects of diving, including boat diving.

Boat diving presents unique challenges and risks that must be adequately addressed to ensure the safety of divers. These include navigation issues, emergency procedures, equipment handling, and management of dive operations. The new DAN course seeks to educate diving professionals on these aspects, providing them with the necessary tools to manage these risks effectively.

The course includes a comprehensive overview of boat diving operations, including pre-dive preparations, launching and docking procedures, emergency management, and post-dive procedures. It is highly interactive and includes practical exercises that allow students to apply the knowledge they've learned.

DAN's commitment to diver safety is underscored by the introduction of this course, which is designed to equip diving professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively mitigate risks and ensure the safety of their divers while on a boat.

With the launch of this new course, DAN continues its commitment to promoting safety and best practices in the diving industry. Diving professionals looking to enhance their skills and knowledge in boat diving operations are encouraged to consider this new offering from DAN.
