DAN Instructors are scuba diving educators who want to offer dive safety programs to their students. To become a DAN Instructor, the first thing you must do is participate in a DAN Instructor Qualification Course (IQC) which we run here  on demand at Go Pro Costa Rica.

The IQC follows a modular format. There is a Core Module and then a separate module representing each training program. You can take all 11 modules as part of one course, or just take the Core Module and one course module – whatever you are interested in teaching. Later, as long as you remain a current and active DAN Instructor, you can take additional modules without retaking the Core Module. The Core Module is online in English and Spanish.

Prerequisites for DAN Instructor Qualification Course:

  • DAN Member
  • Active scuba diving educator*
  • Current CPR Instructor if not completing this from DAN
  • Documentation of First Aid training

Diving Emergency Management Provider

  • To offer this program, DAN Instructor Trainers and Instructors must be in Active Teaching Status for:
    • Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries
    • Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries
    • First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries
    • Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for Scuba Diving

* Note about the scuba diving educator requirement: Any scuba diving instructor or assistant instructor with a recognized scuba training organization can attend the IQC. A divemaster/divecon who takes the Basic First Aid and Life support module will qualify.
