Basic Life Support for Dive ProfessionalsThis course is ideal for dive professionals and divers interested in understanding professional-level resuscitation techniques. It is designed to be applicable to the diving market — including scenes and scenarios from dive situations — as well as the nondiving/health-care market.
BLSPRO also addresses basic life support skills for adults, children and infants.
Recommended Minimum Hours of Training
Knowledge and skills development = 8 hours
This course is a skills-dependent program not a time-dependent one. The instructor shows short video segments, demonstrates the skills in real time, does a second skill demonstration, breaking down key steps as appropriate, and then conducts student practice.
With a small number of trained students, the course could be completed in less time. With large groups or adult learners, it is possible that the course could take more than eight hours to complete. There are also shorter options for retraining and a direct challenge for professional rescuers with a tremendous amount of experience and skill providing basic life support.
