DAN Dive Accident First Aid for Non-Divers Instructor:
Often, non-divers end up having to care for divers in a dive emergency. Possible scenarios include divers’ symptoms don’t show up for 3 or 4 hours after a dive and they are home with a non-diving spouse; a diver surfaces early in a dive while the Divemaster is off the boat leading the dive. Only the captain or a deckhand is onboard. Understanding that, DAN has created a simplified version of its training courses with the non-diver in mind. This program is not intended for divers. It is appropriate for non-diving spouses, bubble watchers, boat captains and mates and anyone else, who may have to care for a diver involved in a dive injury.
