First aid for hazardous marine life injuries, Neurological Assessment, Emergency oxygen provider, Basic Life Support – CPR and First Aid and Bloodborne Pathogens. There is not always just one problem leading to an accident. This is especially true on dive sites. This is why it is important to be prepared for all eventualities and to recognize all facets of an incident. In this course you will learn how to handle multiple problems with confidence, when to apply particular knowledge and how to manage available resources.
