IMCA Diver Medic Technician Refresher

Description

While offshore diving, there is a requirement that one member of a dive team who is not diving, other than a supervisor, should be trained in advanced first aid—generally referred to as a ‘diver medic’. This course is nationally accredited by the IMCA and is valid across the globe.

This is a very comprehensive and in depth course designed to refresh diver medics with the necessary skills and competence to manage all emergencies as they arise. The refresher course focuses very much on the practical application of their skills.
