Diving Medicine
DAN's medical staff is on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to handle diving emergencies such as decompression sickness, arterial gas embolism, pulmonary barotrauma, or other serious diving-related injuries. Every year, our doctors answer more than 2000 calls on the diving emergency hotline from its members.
DAN's hotline is multilingual: no matter where you are, calling DAN you will always talk in your mother tongue. And there's even more!
