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. All courses meet current ILCOR and AHA guidelines. Isn’t it worth a few hours one evening or weekend to learn skills that could save a life?
DAN’s Diving First Aid for Professional Divers teaches participants how to respond to life-threatening emergencies. DFA Pro is the most comprehensive first aid course in the dive industry. While geared toward divemasters and instructors, anyone, even non-divers, will learn an indispensable set of first aid and risk-mitigation skills.
The course includes all elements of the DAN Basic Life Support (CPR and First Aid) and Emergency Oxygen for Scuba Diving Injuries courses, and includes material on neurological assessment and first aid for hazardous marine life injuries.
The course focuses on primary care (CPR) through a combination of knowledge development (via DAN eLearning), skill development and realistic scenario practice to make sure participants have the confidence in their ability to provide care when emergency situations arise.
Secondary care (first aid) covers injuries or illnesses that are not immediately life threatening. Participants focus on secondary assessment and first aid through knowledge development, skill development and realistic scenario practice.
The course teaches the basic principles of CPR and how to deploy and use an Automated External Defibrillation (AED) in an emergency situation. This life saving device can increase a patient’s chance of survival from a cardiac arrest by fifty percent.
