DAN Education Training Courses at the Conference:
Dive Medicine For Divers

Ultimately, more knowledge and a better understanding of how our bodies react to the pressures and stresses of diving lead to safer divers as we understand our limitations and the limitations of the situation.
It includes topics not normally addressed in dive training, including fitness to dive, safety planning and basic physical examinations.
