We about more than just first Aid...

Is so much more than just a diver training first aid business, we are also training and certifying EMTs... That is why we are different from most diver first Aid training organisations because we truly are about the business of medical training not just first aid or CPR... See: EMT training

  Heart Attack

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)

The sad facts are that CPR Alone is effective less then 15% of the time. But with early CPR and the use of an AED Device, the recovery rate is increased to 80%+.... I am not sure which odds you would prefer but I know I have access at all times to an AED Device...

  Renewal

Dive Medic as a rating is required to be revewed every two years

Because the laws in most Countries require CPR Training to be renewed around every two (2) yeras, and due to the fact that skills may be lost if not practiced for some time and standards may change. Therefor this certification is renewable.

Renewal process is very simple and low cost... Just 1/2 a day 3-4 hours refresher programs and CPR Practice. Then you may apply for a renewal card.... Cards are dated with a valid to date... And carry the unique ITDA Group Holographic seal.
