The Changing Oceans Expedition
DAN Europe is proud to be friends with the Changing Oceans
Expedition, a ten-year adventure through the world’s most
important marine eco-regions, to bring the world the latest
update information on the state of our oceans. DAN has
donated to the friends of the Changing Oceans crew a Doppler
Ultrasound Device and a Dive Data Recorder. These tools will
let them detect and register bubbles moving in the blood vessels
after their dives. The detection of bubbles will be made according
to the DAN DSL (Diving Safety Laboratory) standards. The DSL
will collect the data and use these information to update the
Research database.

Life for Madagascar
DAN supports a Hospital construction project on the
remote island of Nosy Be, Madagascar. The project
is run by not-for-profit organisation Life
for Madagascar. The Hospital will
include a hyperbaric centre.
