Diver Safety and Medical Training
With our Dive Medic technicians on staff, we take advantage of all that knowledge and expertise and made sure to share it with the local dive centers. Competition aside, we are all concerned with safety, and preventing any unnecessary accidents while out diving and having fun.
There are two primary certifications that address basic safety and medical emergencies while out diving – those being Emergency First Response, and Divers Alert Network Oxygen Provider Certification. Both of these courses and yearly updated/refreshers are offered by Wicked Diving for all the local dive centers and their staff.
To add to these services, Paul – our resident dive medic-technician and expert also kicked off a new monthly “seminar and lecture” series. These “SAFETY MEETINGS” are hosted right here at Wicked Diving headquarters, and are open forums for all dive professionals in the region. Solely focused on preventing dive accidents, these sessions review all the signs and symptoms for dive injuries in an open forum for all to share their knowledge and experiences in the field, and also review the local marine life to heighten awareness on what to do if a staff member or a guest happens to have any sort of potential marine-life related encounter.
