 As the DES Quest begins its third year, DAN® once again challenges all divers to achieve the level of Diving Emergency Specialist, a training recognition that commends divers who have continued their education and training, increasing their safety and improving their ability to assist in an emergency.
The DES Quest incorporates DAN Training programs with those of other training agencies, providing the diver with a well-rounded dive education.
To become a Diving Emergency Specialist, a diver must:
- be a rescue level (or higher) diver with their training agency
- have a current CPR and First Aid certification
- have a current certification in Diving Emergency Management Provider (including Advanced O2) or
- have a current certification in Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries (or equivalent) and three of the following (or the equivalent):
- Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries
- First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries
- AEDs for Scuba Diving
- On-Site Neurological Assessment for Divers
DES Quest III runs June 1-Dec. 31, 2008. Completion of the DES Quest guarantees divers a specially designed T-shirt and ballcap and an entry into a drawing for a $250 DAN gift certificate. Separate incentives are available to dive centers and instructors, so encourage all comers to complete the Quest and achieve the level of Diving Emergency Specialist.
