Diving is carried out in a wide range of environments and conditions. Thermal stress can be an important issue, particularly for the long exposures associated with technical diving. Proper preparation can improve comfort, performance and safety. This presentation will discuss thermal stress, thermal protection and implications for diving health.
Rebreathers are becoming more common and require a solid understanding of their technology in order for divers to use them. By comparing and contrasting different types of rebreathers, discussing gas mixes at deep depths and outlining some of the technology involved in rebreathers, Dr. Simon Mitchell gives an overview of important aspects of rebreather diving.
DAN has been helping divers manage emergencies for more than 40 years. In that time, incident reports have shown that running out of breathing gas is consistently among the most common incidents and is the Number 1 cause of dive fatalities. Unfortunately, even the most skilled divers have made mistakes and run out of gas. In this presentation, we’ll present the 13 most common factors that contribute to out-of-air emergencies and discuss how to mitigate them. We’ll cover problems related to situational awareness, procedural problems such as starting with a less-than-full tank and omitting predive checks, and common equipment issues. This is the perfect webinar for divers who have been out of the water for a while and want to refresh their knowledge. We hope you’ll join us!
All diving involves some level of risk. Whether a new diver or one with experience, it is important to acknowledge when an incident occurs so that we may prevent it from happening in the future. Have you ever witnessed or been involved in a diving incident? This webinar will outline the importance of incident reporting, injury monitoring, and how you can help. We hope you can join us.
Dr. David Doolette began diving in 1979 and after some years diving around rusting heaps of steel, he discovered cave diving in 1984. He is a member of the Cave Diving Association of Australia, the Australian Speleological Federation Cave Diving Group, Global Underwater Explorers, and the Woodville Karst Plain Project. Occasionally he dives a rebreather.
Since 2005 he has been a Research Physiologist at the U.S. Navy Experimental Diving Unit where his principal responsibility is development and testing of decompression procedures with a sideline in manned-testing of rebreathers.
DCS does not have a medical test to aid in diagnosis. Dr. Christopher Logue presents the methods doctors use to diagnose and treat DCS. Dr. Logue works at the University of Pennsylvania Hyperbaric Medicine, a partner of Divers Alert Network since 2010

This lecture provides information about Diver Accident Management presented by DAN's CEO Dr. Nick Bird. Lecturer Profile: Nick Bird, M.D. Dr. Bird is the CEO and Chief Medical Officer at DAN and oversees the mission departments of medicine, research and education. He started diving in 1984 and became an instructor in 1989. He taught diving in southern and northern California prior to attending medical school. After medical school he completed a residency in family medicine, and subsequently joined the US Air Force as a flight surgeon and served in Iraq. He received his initial training in hyperbaric medicine while stationed at Travis Air Force Base and completed a fellowship in diving and hyperbaric medicine at the University of California San Diego. He then served as the medical director for hyperbaric medicine at Dixie Regional Medical Center in St. George, UT prior to coming to DAN.

Dive injuries are usually the result of a chain or sequence of events rather than single factor. This presentation provides key elements of focus that can direct a diver's decisions to interrupt the chain of events and prevent injury or incident.

Have you been out of the water for a while? Whether it was the pandemic, your health, or just life in general that put diving on hold for you, it’s important to set yourself up for a safe and successful return. In this webinar I will cover the essentials of preparation: your health and fitness, how to ensure that your equipment and dive skills are up to date, and what to consider when getting ready for your next dive trip.
Do you ever multitask? Dr. Richard Sadler, MD, FACS reviews what can go wrong, even with training and preparation, emphasizing the importance of divers maintaining awareness while underwater. For more information on situational awareness, read Dr. Sadler's articles that appeared in Alert Diver magazine (Winter 2011): http://www.alertdiver.com/Situational...
Frauke Tillmans, Ph.D. NOV 16 9AM PT Studies using doppler and ultrasound technology to quantify gas bubbles in divers’ bloodstreams have been conducted for decades. While advances have been made, many questions are still unanswered: Why are some people more likely to bubble than others? How common are postdive bubbles in recreational divers? How accurate are bubble measurements and analyses with today’s technology? This talk will cover recent advances in bubble science, why it’s important, and what we hope to achieve by studying bubbles.
