About two-thirds of divers with decompression illness have evidence of damage to the nervous system.  Often vague, these signs can go unrecognized or can be dismissed as insignificant or not dive related.  Understanding the signs and determining their severity are the critical steps to getting the injured diver into appropriate medical care.  This course will train divers to recognize the signs and symptoms of decompression illness and then activate emergency assistance.  The program is especially designed for divemasters and instructors charged with the care of others.  However the course is open to all interested participants.
