NOW AVAILABLE ! DAN - Divers Alert Network Training Courses
Over the last 25 years we have delivered courses all across Canada from the West Coast and Alberta Rockies in the west to Baffin Island in the north to Quebec and Ontario in the east.
Occasionally we encounter people who have requirements for certain skills or training that we do not provide. Two of these areas are remote oxygen therapy in isolated settings and dive accident response.
It seemed a natural fit to add the DAN courses to our course offerings. In order to add these programs to our schedule we have sent key staff to various advanced PADI and DAN programs to extend their skills to well beyond that required to teach the basic programs. We can now offer the entire range of DAN courses for scuba divers either separately or in conjunction with our other course offerings. Short descriptions of these courses are found below.
Our clients who are divers are reminded that membership in DAN plus DAN insurance are two of the best measures that scuba divers can take in conjunction with their training. The Divers Alert Network gives you access to rapid support in case of a dive emergency.
NOW AVAILABLE ! PADI Scuba Courses and EFR First Aid and CPR Courses
We are now able to offer PADI Scuba courses up to and including the Advanced Diver, Rescue Diver and Divemaster levels. We will run these on demand only. For example, if you want to combine an EFR First Aid & CPR course with a DAN DEMP course a PADI Rescue Diver course to obtain the DAN Dive Emergency Specialist rating we can readily accomodate you for a private or semi-private course. More details on these offerings will be forthcoming in early 2008. Contact us at any time if you want to organize a course at your location or ours.

Courses For Divers
|
 |
Automated External Defibrillators for Scuba Diving
More than 10 percent of all dive fatalities are actually caused by cardiovascular disease, according to DAN dive accident and fatality statistics. This course teaches divers and other interested parties to provide care for sudden cardiac arrest including the use of an automated external defibrillator (AEDs). |
 |
Basic Life Support for Dive Professionals
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. |
 |
Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries
As a recreational diver, you can receive training to provide vital first aid that can make a difference to a scuba diver with decompression illness. The DAN Oxygen Provider Course provides entry-level training in the recognition and management of possible diving-related injuries using emergency oxygen first aid. |
 |
Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries
This advanced-level program is designed to train existing DAN Oxygen Providers to use the MTV-100 or a Bag Valve Mask while providing care for a non-breathing injured diver. |
 |
Remote Emergency Medical Oxygen (REMO2™)
The DAN Remote Emergency Medical Oxygen (REMO2™) system module supplements the DAN Oxygen First Aid in Scuba Diving Injuries course. Based on medical closed-circuit oxygen rebreather technology, the REMO2™ device provides injured divers with high concentrations of emergency oxygen for extended periods. This training course instructs the Oxygen Provider in the use of DAN's new REMO2™ system. |
 |
First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries
Serious hazardous marine life injuries are rare, but most divers experience minor discomfort from unintentional encounters with fire coral, jellyfish and other marine creatures. This course teaches divers to minimize these injuries and reduce diver discomfort and pain. |

On-Site Neurological Assessment for Divers
Learn how to conduct a neurological assessment on a potentially injured diver in this course. The information gained in this assessment can help convince a diver of the need for oxygen first aid, and help a dive physician determine the proper treatment. |
