 Basic Life Support for Dive Professionals 

 

This is a prerequisite course for Stress & Rescue!

 

 

The remote nature of dive accidents, whether a few hours from shore or days from civilization, frequently requires more advanced levels of care than is offered by traditional or entry-level CPR programs.

 

Basic Life Support for Dive Professionals (BLS Pro) is ideal for dive professionals and divers interested in understanding professional-level resuscitation techniques. 

 

This course addresses basic life support skills for adults, children and infants.
