Who is Diver's Alert Network?
Divers Alert Network (DAN) is a non-profit medical and research
organization dedicated to the safety and health of recreational scuba divers
and is
located at Duke University Medical Center. DAN is supported by
individual
divers and
by every
diver association
around the world.
Founded in 1980, DAN has served as a lifeline for the scuba industry by
operating diving's only 24-hour emergency hotline, a lifesaving service for
injured divers. Additionally, DAN operates a diving medical information line,
conducts vital diving medical research, and develops and provides a number of
educational programs for everyone from beginning divers to medical
professionals.
What is the
Remote
Emergency
Medical
Oxygen
Program?
You know
the
importance
of
oxygen
as a
first
aid
measure
for
decompression
illness.
But,
what
happens
when you
have
more
ocean
than
oxygen
between
you and
advanced
medical
care?
The DAN
Remote
Emergency
Medical
Oxygen
system
is an
affordable
way to
extend
the
oxygen
supply
of your
DAN
oxygen
unit.
The
system
absorbs
carbon
dioxide
from an
injured
diver's
expired
air and
replaces
the
small
amounts
of
oxygen
the
diver
uses,
allowing
the
diver to
re-breathe
the
exhaled
oxygen.
The REMO2™
system
extends
the
duration
of a
standard
oxygen
Jumbo
"D"
cylinder
up to
eight
hours
(an
approximate
eight-fold
increase).
If you
dive in
remote
areas,
the DAN
REMO2™
system
should
be part
of your
safety
plan.
