Seals & Rabies Practical Advice

In our continued effort to advance the DAN mission of promoting safety and education in the diving community, we’re hosted an important webinar that I’d love for you to join. On 30 October at 6 PM, we discussing the recent outbreak of rabies among the Cape fur seal population in the Western Cape of South Africa. As divers often encounter these amazing creatures underwater, it’s crucial to be aware of the risks and how to stay safe. Talk Summary In June 2024, a wild Cape fur seal from Bloubergstrand tested positive for rabies. After further examination, it was confirmed that rabies is present in seal populations across seven different sites along the Western Cape coast. As you know, once rabies is contracted, there is no cure, and the disease is fatal. This presentation will provide the latest updates on this situation and what it means for divers like you who may encounter these playful animals. Dr. Meintjes will also answer any questions you may have. ======= Join DAN today: https://www.dansa.org/annual DAN Blog: https://dansa.org/blog Facebook:   / dansa.org   Twitter:   / divesafety   Instagram:   / dansouthernafrica   Pinterest:   / dansa_org   A key element of the DAN Mission is educating the diving public and the medical profession on the appropriate care for divers injured in dive accidents.
