Recompression Chamber Policy

Divers Alert Network Southern Africa (DAN-SA) receives regular requests for information and/or contact numbers of recompression chambers (also known as hyperbaric chambers) by divers who are training as dive masters or dive leaders, or by divers who think that it may be in their best interest to know the number and location of the nearest recompression chamber. Although this information may be helpful, it often compromises dive safety by creating the impression that rushing an injured diver to the nearest chamber is the most important consideration in an emergency. Often, this is not the case and it may even be dangerous to do so. DAN-SA therefore does not provide information on recompression chambers to divers on request. We encourage that injured divers be given immediate emergency first aid and 100% oxygen, and be taken to the nearest 24-hour casualty as quickly as possible.

Debit Order Policy

Divers Alert Network Southern Africa’s (DAN-SA) membership is based on an advanced premium basis. If you apply for membership in the middle of a month and require immediate cover, your first debit will be a double premium; subsequent debits will be a single premium. If you apply for membership to start in the following month, your first debit will be a single debit.
