First Response Training International

First Response Training International provides CPR, First Aid, and Layperson Rescue Training for divers, caregivers, personal trainers, construction workers, and anyone else who potentially may need these life-saving skills. Our training program is highly effective because it combines eLearning with focused hands-on skills development – a proven, efficient way to learn how to save lives.

Divers Supply offers three great First Response Training courses, which can be done individually or as a combination, to help you deal with emergencies on dive trips, at home, at work, or anywhere else you may be in everyday life.  After completing your at-home eLearning course, our instructors will walk you through the life-saving skills in a step-by-step manner and provide scenarios to help you fine tune your skills.

These classes are a prerequisite for the Rescue Diver course and all professional level courses, but are highly recommended for divers of all skill levels.
