We are honored to welcome Dan Orr, a renowned expert in the field, as he presents his highly acclaimed webinar, "Mistakes Divers Make." Recreational scuba diving is inherently safe but is very unforgiving of mistakes. When you look at the available diving accident data, especially the ‘triggering events’ in diving fatalities, the majority of triggering events are either directly or indirectly caused by human error. Identifying and discussing mistakes that divers make coupled with recommendations on how to improve safety, will provide important knowledge and tools that will help reduce the likelihood that an incorrect choice will plunge the diver into a cascade of events leading towards truly unwanted circumstances."
Dan Orr, President of Dan Orr Consulting, has more than 60 years of diving experiences. He created a college-level diver education program at Wright State University (Dayton, Ohio), was Associate Diving Safety Officer (DSO) at Florida State University and retired from the position of President of Divers Alert Network (DAN) where he helped focus DAN on its worldwide diving safety mission.
Dan is an invited speaker at numerous national and international diver conferences and conducts regular webinars for global audiences on a variety of diving safety subjects. He has published, co-authored and contributed to more than a dozen books and manuals including 101 Tips for Recreational Divers, Scuba Diving Safety, Diving Science-Revisited, Pocket Guide to First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries; Pocket Guide for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries; the NOAA Diving Manual and the DAN Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries Training Manual. He has also published hundreds of articles including The Four Ps of Scuba Diving Safety, The Normalization of Deviance (aka shortcut mentality), Time to Return to Diving but Cautiously, COVID-19, Local Diving and The Older Diver, The Ageless Diver, A Crisis Lurking Below the Surface-Emergency Hyperbaric Chamber Availability, Diving Safety Is Good Business and Open-Circuit Diver Fatalities.
Dan has been honored by his peers by being the recipient of many prestigious awards and is a member of the Explorers Club, a member of the Hall of Fame for Disabled Divers, the Diving Industry Hall of Fame, and the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame."
