DAN Europe Partners with Ocean Maps to Offer its Members Better Diving Experiences
The international diving safety organization Divers Alert Network (DAN) Europe and the Austrian-based startup Ocean Maps have announced a partnership to offer an enhanced diving experience to scuba diving fans.
Ocean Maps provides groundbreaking interactive 3D-simulations of popular dive spots, helping divers to accustom to the specifics of a dive site. DAN Europe members will be granted 3 free interactive 3D dive maps of the “Red Sea Scuba Maps” App, including the famous diving spot “Big Brother”, to encourage detailed planning and briefing before diving. Thanks to this cooperation, both organizations raise awareness about the importance of thorough preparation and in-depth knowledge of the dive site before taking up the dive.
DAN Europe members will be directly invited by e-mail. All divers can check out the DAN membership benefits at daneurope.org/web/guest/member-deals.
