DAN and CMAS Announce Alliance


Two well-known industry organizations to begin working together on training programs.

Divers Alert Network® and the American chapter of the Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques(CMAS AMERICAS) recently announced a new training alliance. As part of the alliance, CMAS AMERICAS now incorporates DAN training programs into its own training.

Frank Toal, president and CEO of CMAS AMERICAS, said DAN is obviously the industry leader when it comes to oxygen and other emergency training programs. “DAN literally wrote the book on it,” Toal said. “So when we wanted to incorporate this important information into our training schedule, we naturally turned to the ones who started it all.”

The alliance begins with the training of CMAS AMERICAS Instructors and the requirement that all CMAS Instructors also carry DAN Instructor credentials. From there, provider-level DAN programs will be taught from the CMAS Two-Star Diver courses through all subsequent levels of training.

Dan Orr, DAN president and CEO, said DAN is delighted to incorporate DAN programs into the CMAS AMERICAS training structure. “It is another example of agency cooperation working to improve dive safety,” Orr said. “The focus of this particular alliance on information and education reinforces one of the core tenets of DAN’s mission — the promotion of dive safety through education. We applaud CMAS’s dedication to this end, and we deeply appreciate its support of DAN through the use of our programs.”

When CMAS AMERICAS looked at how to offer the best, most up-to-date information on diver first aid and safety, Toal said the alliance with DAN was the obvious answer. “DAN is the leader in the field, and it produces the best training programs and support materials available in the industry,” Toal said.
The world’s first international diver training organization, CMAS was founded in 1959 in Monaco by a confederation of 15 countries (including the United States) to establish an international diver-training standard. Organized under the direction of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the father of the modern sport of scuba diving, CMAS now has a membership of more than 100 countries. CMAS is headquartered within the International Olympic Committee building in Rome, Italy. CMAS AMERICAS' courses are offered by CMAS Instructors, meet CMAS standards and, as such, are recognized worldwide. For more information on CMAS and CMAS AMERICAS, go to www.cmasamericas.com.
