Project Dive Exploration
The DAN and DAN USA teamed up in the early 2000s to create the PDE Database. This database contains information on recreational air and mixed gas. The PDE computer database currently contains 137.451 profiles. These data are gathered from field work, laboratory studies and other research activities that aim to improve dive safety.
PDE stands short for Project Dive Exploration. DAN divers can contribute to the charity by sharing their profile information. To be eligible for the drawing, all you have to do is dive for five minimum dives between May 28th & September 3rd 2007. Divers who complete 10 dives or more will receive a commemorative t-shirt.
