Does anyone know why D.A.N. only allows dive professionals to teach its programs. I'm not a dive pro, and I don't intend to be, but I do have a lot of First Aid, O2, AED, etc..teaching experience for other agencies; and I'm also a Paramedic...so why won't D.A.N. let me teach it's programs? Does anyone know if exceptions have been made in this regard? Thanks.
Teaching for D.A.N?!?

My guess on this one is that all of DAN's programs are intended for divers and the situations that they can get into. Since the programs are designed for divers, they may feel that a dive professional would know more about those situations than someone who is not a professional diver. Notice that the programs aren't just called Oxygen First Aid but they add Oxugen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries. My guess is that they want someone knowledgeable in the diving field and in the rescue/first aid procedures or that specific field. Just my opinion.

You could try asking DAN....

That is probably the best way to get the answer. Please let us know what they say.
