Smart divers’ benefit from this opportunity. The cost of a dive accident can exceed R200,000
a cost that isn’t always covered by primary insurance. But don’t worry, as a DAN member,
you have access to the industry’s leading dive accident cover.
DAN offers comprehensive plans that provide protection and peace-of-mind in the event of
a dive accident for far less than the cost of an unplanned event.
DAN’s Dive Accident Cover Plans are recognised worldwide providing secondary coverage of
up to R900,000 and paying 100% of eligible expenses.

It takes less that 10 minutes to sign up for Annual Dive Cover as a recreational diver, freediver
or spear fisherman. DAN dive cover includes payment for the cost of hospitalisation,

STUDENT COVER


DAN's Student Cover (open water or equivalent courses) is free of charge to entry-level
students from the first pool session to the qualifying dive or for a duration of six weeks.
Recreational dive, freediving and spear fisherman entry-level students are all eligible. Cover
limit of R300,000.
This complimentary dive cover, fully subsidised by DAN, covers entry-level students in the
unlikely event of a dive injury during their entry-level training. As a diving-related injury or
illness can be costly, it pays to be prepared. While entry-level students focus on learning to
dive and getting comfortable underwater, DAN has them covered should an unexpected
incident occur — above or below water.

BE PREPARED BEFORE YOUR DIVE

Enroll in DAN’s Free Online Prepared Diver Course
The human body wasn’t designed to breathe underwater, but with the right equipment and
proper training, almost anyone can become an underwater explorer. Unfortunately, to err is
human and accidents happen; but they don’t have to happen to you.
The five most common scuba diving accidents are preventable. That’s why Divers Alert
Network (DAN) created the Prepared Diver course.
Most divers don’t plan to run out of air or make an uncontrolled ascent, but there are
common, preventable mistakes that lead up to these emergencies. DAN’s Prepared Diver
course is based upon real-life dive accidents and uses engaging video modules to help divers
learn more about the science of diving so they can make informed decisions and minimise
risk.

DAN delivers a deep level of information tailored to the way you learn best!

At DAN, we believe a smarter diver is a safer diver. And when you’re 18 meters underwater,
you want to be certain that you have the knowledge needed to explore safely. That’s why,
for over 30 years, we have made it our mission to deliver extensive educational and dive
safety resources to help you stay safe — both in and out of the water.
