We all want to help a person in an emergency. But the anxiety of messing things up, fear of infection transmission, or the desperation of not knowing what to do may prevent us from helping. Can you imagine someone who hesitated to help you or your loved ones with such excuses in an emergency? When you think about this, we better understand the necessity of this course. If you take this course, you will learn internationally recognized (ILCOR accredited) CPR and First Aid skills and help someone in need with confidence.
Be a diver or not, everyone can attend this course, with no age limits. If you are planning to become a PADI Rescue Diver, this is a must course, so you should definitely consider taking this course.
There are no prerequisites for this course. Everyone can attend.
