The novel coronavirus pandemic has been one of the most widely life-altering events that many of us have ever experienced.

From The Safety Stop - Navigating The Pandemic

While we have done what we can to adapt to the virus, it will undoubtedly take time to recover from the disruptions to our regular routines – and even more so from the illness and loss of life that have spread throughout our communities, our countries and the world. The importance of spending time underwater, whether as a hobby or a career, has for now taken a back seat to the measures we must take to keep ourselves and our loved ones healthy. For many of us, that means we’ve taken a longer break from diving than we anticipated.

The DAN staff can empathise – we, too, have had to curtail the diving that is part of our lives beyond just being our careers. What we have not done, however, is change anything about our commitment to divers, dive professionals and the dive community. Our dedication to remaining the same company we have always been – throughout the coronavirus and beyond – is as strong as ever.

When federal and state governments began to enact social distancing orders, coming into the office was no longer an option. Fortunately, most of our operations already had the necessary infrastructure in place to allow working remotely. When it came time to transition, the preparations made by the entire staff allowed us to close the office without interrupting any of our services.

TECHNICAL DIVING TIMELINE (1660–1999)

It’s fair to say that the emergence of “technical diving” in the late 1980s, that is, the introduction of mixed gas technology, and later mixed gas rebreathers to the sport diving community, represented the culmination of hundreds of years of scientific discovery and technological development.
