It was the 14 and 15
th of February that saw the first DAN Diving First Responder course for Munster Dive and Canoe.
The course involves a number of modules - Automated External Defibrillator (
AED), Hazardous Marine Life Injuries (
HMLI), Oxygen Administration for Scuba Diver Injuries (O2) and Advanced Oxygen Training (
AdvO2). Trying to make the training as fun and enjoyable as possible, as well as making it serious, a number of scenarios are created to help with the learning.
DFR candidates for the course were Kevin McCarthy, Derek Bolton, Ritchie
McKinnie and Aaron Doyle. Mark
Crosbie was present for the
EFR course (Primary, Secondary Care with
AED for Adult/Child/Infant) on the 14
th. A DAN Basic Life Support (
BLS) was also done on the Saturday as CPR training is a
pre-requisite for a DAN O2 course. It was a good weekend, and a great start to the years training.
