your knowledge and skills so you can effectively perform
diver assists and rescues, manage diving accident situations
and render the appropriate First Aid.
The program is an important
step in expanding your knowledge and experience as a diver.
The course consists of 10 exercises in Open Water that
culminates in 4 Rescue Scenarios combining the various
exercises into realistic rescue scenarios.
These are usually run over two days
following a day of Knowledge Development and Pool work.
Exercises include: panicked diver on the surface, tired
diver on the surface, distressed diver underwater, missing
diver, surfacing the unconscious diver, egress with the
unconscious diver etc.
Prior to certification you will also need to have successfully
completed the Emergency First Response Primary / Secondary
Care course or a sanctioned program in CPR and First Aid

if someone needs help.

about CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), basic first
aid and other emergency response procedures - many used
by emergency care professionals but at a layman's level.

skills presented in this Medic First Aid course, however
should the need arise to provide emergency medical attention,
you'll have the knowledge to respond quickly - and with
confidence !!!
