Founded in 1983, DAN Europe was the first 24 hour diving emergency assistance service, set up as a membership Organisation. After nearly 40 years of experience, the DAN Organisation possesses unmatched knowledge in the field and has become not only the first, but the largest to promote diving safety, with an international network of more than 180 dive doctors serving 500,000 members worldwide. This means: a solid and experienced network, which exists to assist and protect divers in all their underwater explorations, while making diving an ever-safer, inclusive and sustainable activity for all.
