DIVERS Emergency Life Support

DELS training combines European Resuscitation Council Guidelines with knowledge of the physiology of diving, ensuring best clinical practice in the treatment of injured divers, regardless of the aetiology of their condition. Ranging from Pulmonary Barotraumas to Acute Progressive Neurological Decompression Illness, DELS training ensures you do the most for your dive buddy prior to, and during their evacuation by the most appropriate method, to a Category-1 Recompression Chamber or A&E Emergency Department. All course material follows the Generic Core Material of the Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care from the Royal College of Surgeons, (Edinburgh).
