The Divers Alert Network has recently launched a new podcast to improve diver safety through discussions with a range of divers from across the industry.
The DANcast is available on YouTube and Spotify and will combine practical knowledge with personal stories which the team says with build on DAN’s educational mission by enhancing listeners’ knowledge to make safer, smarter decisions while diving.
The show will bring together a variety of voices from the scuba diving world, including safety and medical experts, researchers, equipment manufacturers, underwater photographers and filmmakers; dive operators and other professionals who believe in DAN’s mission.
Episodes will cover topics that DAN says will ‘resonate with seasoned and new divers alike’, adding that listeners can expect ‘in-depth discussions of scientific research, training practices, technological innovations, conservation efforts, underwater imaging, and more.’
The DANcast’s first season dropped on 22 January 22 2025, with the premiere episode featuring a conversation with acclaimed marine filmmakers Howard and Michele Hall.
New episodes will be released every two weeks. For more information and to join The DANcast, head to Spotify or YouTube, and visit DAN.org/Podcast.
