regulations.

entry level training designed to educate the general diving (and qualified
non-diving) public to better recognise the warning signs of Sudden Cardiac
Arrest and administer first aid using Basic Life Support techniques and
an Automated External Defibrillator while activating the local emergency
medical services, (EMS) and / or arranging for evacuation to the nearest
appropriate medical facility.
DAN Basic Life Support
The remote nature of dive accidents, whether a few hours from shore or
days from civilization, frequently requires more advanced levels of care
than are offered by traditional or entry-level CPR programs. DAN Instructors
and Instructor Trainers will now be able to offer a healthcare provider-level
basic life support program for their student and divers.
Called Basic Life Support for Dive Professionals (BLSPRO), this program
is ideal for dive professionals and divers interested in understanding
professional-level resuscitation techniques. This program is designed
to be applicable to the diving market, including scenes and scenarios
from dive situations, as well as the non-diving/healthcare market.
Coupled with DAN’s existing Training Programs and the new Advanced Oxygen First Aid program, DAN Instructors and Instructor Trainers will now be able to offer a complete diving emergency program.
This program also addresses basic life support skills for adults, children and infants.
Skills learned in this program that set it apart from lay-provider level CPR courses include:
two-person CPR;
ventilation using a bag valve mask;
finger sweep;
suctioning;
cricoid pressure; and
the technique for caring for an unconscious choking victim
DAN Diving First Responder / Management Provider
DAN offers several dive-specific first aid training programs. Because
these courses are often taught independently, there is repetitive information
and skills. The Diving First Responder course allows divers to learn the

of time, but without sacrificing any skills.
This course combines Oxygen Provider, Advanced Oxygen Provider, Automated External Defibrillator and First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life.
