What You’ll Learn

  • Primary Care (CPR): Recognize life-threatening emergencies, provide CPR, and use AEDs.
  • Secondary Care (First Aid): Assess a variety of injuries and illnesses, apply first aid, and manage non-life-threatening situations.
  • Care for Children: Optional skills focused on child and infant emergencies.
  • CPR & AED Refresher: Review and update your skills to stay current.

Because the training emphasizes practical application, you’ll not only understand the theory—you’ll also practice skills repeatedly in real-life scenarios. In addition, the techniques you learn are useful outside of diving, helping you protect family, friends, or coworkers.
