This First Aid course gives divers and diving support staff the practical skills and understanding to manage common dive-related injuries and general first aid situations. Through hands-on exercises and detailed instruction, you’ll learn how to handle emergencies calmly and effectively, both above and below the surface. Key Details Location: Gosforth, NE3 2HY Group size: 1–12 participants Minimum age: 10 Key Skills Assessing injuries and managing emergency response Performing CPR and rescue breathing techniques Handling aquatic injuries, including stings and cuts Recognising signs of shock and decompression illness Applying effective first aid for diving and non-diving incidents What to Expect Training starts with a clear and practical overview of first aid principles, focusing on both diving and everyday emergency situations. Instructors introduce key topics such as scene assessment, casualty management, and the use of protective barriers. You’ll learn how to recognise symptoms of common diving-related injuries, respond appropriately, and coordinate care until emergency services arrive. As the course progresses, you’ll move on to realistic practice scenarios. Using resuscitation manikins and first aid kits, you’ll develop hands-on skills including CPR, rescue breathing, wound care, and the management of shock and unconscious casualties. Throughout, instructors provide personalised feedback, ensuring you understand not just what to do, but why each action matters in a real-world context. The emphasis is on practical competence, calm decision-making, and teamwork — all key elements of effective emergency response in diving environments. Location The course is delivered entirely at the Gosforth training centre (NE3 2HY), offering a comfortable classroom setting equipped with CPR manikins, medical training aids, and safety equipment for realistic practice. Each student receives personal attention and ample time to develop core skills through demonstration and repetition. Situated within easy reach of major routes, the centre is accessible for both local divers and those visiting the North East for training. It’s an ideal location to combine classroom learning with other dive courses offered at the same site. Prerequisites This course is open to all certified divers and diving support personnel.

You’ll cover everything from initial scene assessment and casualty care to practical skills like CPR, rescue breathing, and managing shock or bleeding. The course also includes content specific to divers, such as recognising decompression illness and handling aquatic injuries. Every skill is practised hands-on using professional training aids. The aim is not just to memorise procedures, but to understand how to adapt them calmly and effectively in real emergencies — whether at the dive site or at home. ### How is this course different from a standard workplace first aid course? This training is designed specifically for divers and diving professionals. While you’ll learn standard first aid principles, the examples, discussions, and scenarios all focus on dive-related injuries and situations divers may realistically encounter. That includes helping a diver after rapid ascent, managing cuts or pressure-related injuries, and coordinating oxygen administration or emergency evacuation when needed. The course ensures divers have a practical and relevant approach to safety. ### Is there any in-water training involved? No, this is a classroom-based course with hands-on practice only. All activities take place indoors using first aid training equipment. This allows you to focus on skill accuracy and emergency management without the complications of an in-water environment. For divers looking to build on these skills, it pairs perfectly with Oxygen Administration and Master Rescue courses. ### Who should take this course? Any diver, dive leader, or support team member who wants to improve their emergency response ability will benefit. It’s also suitable for non-diving partners or boat crew who regularly assist divers. The minimum age is 10, so it’s also accessible for younger divers beginning their training journey. Everyone leaves with essential, life-saving knowledge and increased confidence around emergency situations. ### Will this certification help with other diving courses? Yes. First Aid certification is a requirement for many higher-level diving courses, including rescue and instructor training. Completing it ensures you meet those entry standards and strengthens your readiness for more advanced responsibilities. Beyond certification, it builds a mindset of preparedness that enhances your safety and that of others, both in diving and in daily life. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/dabaf0d3-7a99-426a-98f6-25de3e67bbd1.png - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
