Helping Divers Since 1983
We assist and protect divers, and conduct scientific research to make diving a safer, more accessible, and sustainable activity for all.
Diving Safety since 1983

It all started for the love of dive safety. Since then we’ve researched, we’ve learnt and we’ve shared. Along the way, we met inspiring people who helped us spread the passion for diving.

DAN Europe exists to assist and protect all divers through the most extensive and reliable network of diving physicians worldwide.

DAN offers the community numerous pioneering services, including the first-ever insurance designed specifically for divers.

DAN conducts scientific research to better understand diving physiology and share that knowledge with the goal of making diving a safer, more accessible activity.

DAN also develops first aid educational programs to preserve life, in and out of the water. We recognise the unique beauty and fragility of the Blue Planet, and act as ambassadors for more sustainable practices within our community.

Equality and Diversity Policy

Being an Equal Opportunities Organisation, DAN Europe Foundation is dedicated to encouraging a supportive and inclusive culture amongst the whole workforce.
Our aim is to ensure that all employees and job applicants are given equal opportunity and that our organisation is representative of all sections of society.
