Emergency First Response

Hello and a Happy New Year to all our wonderful Emergency First Responders.

You may or may not be aware that very recently the Australian (and European for that matter) Resuscitation Councils have produced new guidelines to SIMPLIFY yet further Basic Life Support (CPR) procedures based on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation’s (ILCOR) findings.

I have put together the attached for your information. 

Very simple – If in doubt call EMS first, give 2 breaths (5 if victim has been immersed in water) – each breath lasting 1 second. Commence CPR, compression rates of 30 to 2 breaths (almost 2 compressions a second!) and get the AED on them ASAP and follow prompts.  Continue CPR until professional help arrives. 

The flow chart should help. Any questions, then please give me a call.

Happy diving.

Angela

Scuba Review

Back by popular demand!

WHEN

Ocean Easy will be conducting a PADI Scuba Review at the British Club Pool on the evening of Tuesday 13th February.

WHO IS IT FOR

This is ideal for certified divers (all organisations) who have not managed to venture into the water for a while. 

WHAT IS INCLUDED

Each certified diver will receive a PADI Scuba Tune-up book which will be reviewed with you by your instructor and a PADI decal to affix to your certification card on successful completion of the safety skills.

HOW TO BOOK

Places are limited and booking is essential.  I will need confirmation and deposit ($40) by the 4th February latest.

Pricing guide:

 1 Student = $140

2 Students = $100

3 Students = $85

4 Students = $80 (maximum number per instructor)

(I believe Angela already has 2 people signed up for this course so it will probably cost around $85.)

Hyperbaric Chamber
