The Divers Alert Network Basic Life Support (BLS) course provides participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to respond confidently to medical emergencies. This hybrid course blends self-paced eLearning with instructor-led, hands-on practice to ensure both understanding and skill proficiency.

Participants complete the online portion first, covering core concepts such as recognizing life-threatening emergencies, emergency priorities, and response principles. The in-person session then focuses on practical application, including CPR technique, AED use, and managing breathing emergencies.
