Emergency First Response
Courses at Divers Unlimited
Because diving often takes place at remote locations, it is essential
for divers to have the first aid knowledge and skills that enable
them to sustain life and promote relief until professional help
arrives.
The Emergency First Response First Aid training program is designed
for all recreational scuba divers or anyone wishing to develop the
necessary life saving skills for work home or whilst at leisure.
The care given in the first hour following an incident can be the
difference between life and death.
This new course covers the four cornerstones of first aid incidents:
First Aid, CPR, Oxygen Administration, Accident Management.
This new course meets all requirements for NAUI and PADI Rescue
diver, and meet performance criteria for DAN's Oxygen provider courses.
Both of these courses follow the same priorities of care used by
professional rescuers.

Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers are in place to support
Emergency Responder care.
