Courses
No matter which level you are at in SCUBA Diving, you need to be prepared for emergencies in order to have an enjoyable time underwater. At Tiedemann’s Diving Center, we practice Dive Safety. As a part of our Continuing Education program, we offer comprehensive Dive Safety courses including some new Divers Alert Network courses.
Our goal in Dive Safety is the same as DAN Training’s – we want to have divers at every dive site we visit, trained and prepared to use Oxygen or an AED to assist an injured diver.
The DAN courses we will be offering include:
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 and a Bag Valve Mask while providing care for a non-breathing injured diver.
You must provide proof of DAN Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries certification within the last 24 months to take this course.
First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries
Highly recommended for new Divers!
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.
Diving Emergency Management Provider Program
Learn the knowledge and skills from several courses into one single approach to dive emergency management. This course includes Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries, Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries, First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries and Automated External Defibrillators (AED) for Scuba Diving
For those who complete 4 DAN modules, you will be eligible to apply for Diving Emergency Specialist (DES) – the recognition that you will receive for your effort in practicing Dive Safety and continuing education to help other SCUBA Divers.
Whether you take one course or four, you are participating in our Dive Safety community. Join us today to be a part of Tiedemann’s Dive Safety Program!
