First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries

First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries

Why Take This Course

Divers may experience unintentional encounters with fire coral, jellyfish and other marine creatures. Any time a person enters the marine environment there is a chance of being stung, bitten or cut. This course will teach you where you can expect to encounter potentially hazardous marine life and how to provide first aid when injuries occur. The more you know about the marine environment, the greater your chances of having safe, memorable dives.

  • Vertebrate and invertebrate sources of envenomations

  • Life-threatening complications
  • Seafood poisonings

  • Initial assessment
  • Shock management
  • Treatment of stinging and spiny envenomations and injuries
  • Control of external bleeding
  • Pressure immobilization technique
