It‘s easier to follow but not nearly as comprehensive. On a four hour drive to a chamber the DAN slate will run thin on observables leading to a weak casualty handover. If I were to use the DAN slate, any one of my current and previous surgeons, PAs and medics would disown me.
The tradeoff is a fair number of people are trained to use it. Very few of us are EMTs or paramedics....
 
Rehearsals led by the dive team leader or the assistant team leader will fast forward the lay person past their perceived incompetencies.
 
My honest reaction? Not all technical dives are military-like operations that need this approach.
Are you thinking of super deep, super long, "pinnacle" dives, or four guys going to 200 ft for 30 mins to see a wreck?
You don't want the objective of the dive to be the plan....
