CPR/ First Aid/ O2
Want to be able to help in the event of a diving emergency? We’ve bundled two classes you need to cover most emergencies until EMS arrives: Basic Life Support: CPR and First Aid (BLS) and Emergency Oxygen for Scuba Diving Injuries (EO2).
Divers Alert Network (DAN) is the diving industry’s go-to source for medical questions and education. Developed by dive medicine physicians and diving educators, DAN’s courses are easy to understand and designed to provide you with the skills and confidence you need to respond in emergencies. DAN first aid courses prepare people to manage injuries related to scuba diving as well as those that occur in other settings. It’s definitely worth a few hours to learn skills that could save a life.
Several classes that we offer require recent First Aid/ CPR training and this course bundle can be combined with those classes or just taken on its own. If you’re enrolling in a class, give us a call for a discounted rate on this bundle.
