Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED
The Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED course teaches you how to recognize medical emergencies, respond quickly, and provide basic life support until professional help arrives. You’ll practice hands-on skills for adults, children, and infants using manikins and realistic scenarios.
In this program you’ll learn how to assess a victim, perform high-quality CPR, use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), and provide essential first aid for common injuries and illnesses. These skills are valuable at home, at work, and at the dive site.
Many dive training agencies require current First Aid and CPR certification for advanced programs such as Diver Stress & Rescue. Completing Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED with Coral Sea Scuba helps you meet those prerequisites while becoming a more confident and prepared responder.
