I put this 35 minute presentation together for the DAN Conference on 11th November 2017 held at the Samsung Arena in Milan, Italy.

I was 1 of 7 guest speakers for this special event. The goal was to educate divers on safety and based around the travelling scuba diver. Big thanks to Divers Alerts Network (DAN Europe) for giving me the chance to speak about something I am very passionate about.

I am sure this presentation will be viewed by diver centres and divers all over the world, I look forward to all feedback and am confident you will get lots of tips and tricks for your time spent watching.
