A companion journal for the first breath underwater. November 2006:

Giant Stride focuses on everyone who’s thinking of taking that very first breath underwater — and all the divers who already have. It’s a unique resource, consisting of the best medical safety advice and scuba information available.

The journal is produced by Divers Alert Network (DAN), the highly respected non-profit diving medical emergency assistance and information organization. Aiming to promote the very best in independent and impartial diving safety information to all who want to step into the underwater universe, Giant Stride draws its invaluable editorial content from the vast DAN archive of medical information, research and experience. It’s a resource unlike any other, gleaned from DAN’s 25 years providing independent diving medical and safety practice advice to hundreds of thousands of divers around the globe.

It’s a journal like no other; it cuts through a crowded market.

The best in medical guidance is complemented by the best in style and format. Giant Stride is a showcase for leading contemporary creative design and encourages new, vibrant, underwater photography.

It is creatively and editorially independent.

Giant Stride provides news and information across the range of human endeavour in the underwater realm. Complementing coverage of the diving medical issues and archives are Giant Stride’s lifestyle sections, tailored for the particular tastes of the new diver. Giant Stride carries features, new divers what they really want to know about diving. Articles address subjects like staying safe in their new sport, medical training, exclusive travel breaks, destination reviews and columns focusing on health, what lies beyond certification and personal insurance.
