About the Program |  Benefits | Requirements | Downloads

In addition to the level 1 requirements, the provider trains others to deal with emergency situations, emergency exercises are carried out on a planned or regular basis, and there is an increased awareness of safety. The service provider should typically:
 

	Be able to deal with emergencies (diving, non-diving, neuro-assessment, etc)
	Train others in emergency management of related injuries and illnesses
	Continually log and maintain the competency of their staff members
	Use standardized safety systems (e.g. checklists)

Apart from the equipment and facilities available for level 1 recognition, the facility should  have a training facility available.  The facility should also have an active (“current status”) instructor available, who can provide the following DAN (or equivalent) programs:

	Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Emergencies
	Basic Life Support
	First Aid
	First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries (if these injuries can be caused in the region the provider operates in)
	On-Site Neurological Assessment for Divers
	Automatic External Defibrillators for SCUBA Divers

Assessment
As with the previous level, the assessment may be carried out by means of a risk assessment led by DAN or through self-assessment with a final report submitted to DAN for consideration.
 

Recognition
Service providers and facilities that are committed to this level of safety and meet the minimum requirements will be recognized by DAN as a “Gold Diving Safety Partner”.
