This course teaches you the steps and techniques for handling life-threatening emergencies. You’ll practice eight skills for aiding patients who aren’t breathing, have no heartbeat, may have a spinal injury, and may be in shock or who may have serious bleeding.
You’ll learn to how to perform CPR and continue to monitor the patient, so that you provide every possible chance of survival while waiting for emergency medical services to arrive.
Secondary Care (First Aid)
Because many medical conditions are not life-threatening and emergency medical services are sometimes delayed or unavailable, this course teaches you how to provide first aid that eases pain and reduces the risk of further harm.
You’ll learn to assess a variety of injuries and illnesses and practice bandaging and splinting.

Absolutely no! We don’t like last minute negative surprises hence we won’t spring any on you too.
Am I able to request a room to myself?
Sure! We will do our best to make special arrangement for you subject to availability at the destination resort.
However, in most cases, there will be a surcharge if you are requesting for a room to yourself. Please check with us on the charges.

You don’t have to. We will arrange another diver embarking on the same course to be your buddy. In the unlikely event that you are the odd one out, your dive buddy will be your trusty Instructor or Divemaster.
