Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for Scuba Diving
When anyone suffers a heart attack they need help from someone trained in first aid as soon as possible. If this happens in remote location, as often dive sites are, it may take the emergency services some time to get to a patient. Therefore learning some first aid skills and having the confidence to use them could keep a casualty alive until the professionals can take.
Join Galaxsea Divers on the DAN Automated External Defibrillators for Scuba Diving course to learn how to spot the signs of a heart attack and master the use of Automated External Defibrillators that give a casualty a much better chance of survival.
This course is designed to train and educate divers, and others, in the techniques of using an automated external defibrillator (AED) for those suffering cardiac arrest.
