DAN Divers Day

To advance and celebrate the DAN mission, we’re excited to host a series of DAN Divers Days across KwaZulu-Natal this September. These events are designed to bring the diving community together, offering engaging sessions on marine and dive safety that foster greater awareness, knowledge, and confidence beneath the waves.

Attendance is completely free, but we do encourage everyone to register online. This helps us prepare adequate seating and catering, ensuring a comfortable, seamless, and enjoyable experience for every diver who joins us.
