Diving Accident First Aid for Non-Diver

What is it? This class is design for non-diving spouses, bubble watchers, boat captains and mates and anyone else, who may have to care for a diver with a dive injury. This program includes symptom recognition and the first aid skills to provide care. In complete DAN programs, divers also learn the affects these injuries have on their bodies and how to prevent them. This information is important for divers to help them be safer, but from a non-diver standpoint, this information is not as critical as responding to the immediate need. This course is specifically created for non-divers and is not appropriate for divers.
