Procedure to Be Used Following an Accident
The below procedures are to be followed by a DAN Member (or someone acting on behalf of a Member) in the event of a diving accident or a non-diving emergency.
All members should familiarise themselves with these procedures in order to minimise any confusion at the time of an accident. Click on the below steps to find out more information.
For Diving Emergencies
Step 1 - Call one of the DAN-Supported 24-Hour dive emergency hotlines. CLICK HERE

For Non-Diving Emergencies
In the event of a non-diving emergency, the Member should contact DAN TravelAssist. This can be done by placing a collect call through the international operator or by dialling direct. The DAN TravelAssist operator will take relevant details and will arrange for a physician to be consulted. Following medical advice, TravelAssist will determine the best course of action and make any necessary arrangements.
