Brand new to RAID, this Emergency First Aid course addresses the types of injuries and illnesses commonly encountered by divers – a perfect complement to the RAID Master Rescue Course and the soon to be released Oxygen Provider Course.

For those thinking about becoming a RAID Diver First Aid Instructor, the process is simple…

Crossover

If you’re already a RAID Instructor and have an equivalent First Aid Instructor rating from a recognised training agency:

  • Purchase the First Aid Instructor online USD 75.00 (Contact RAID UK & Malta directly for Sterling pricing)
  • Complete the online theory – Instructor rating includes student theory
  • Instructor must supply evidence of current First Aid Instructor rating from any agency which is to be uploaded to system on sign off
  • A RAID Examiner will verify and complete the final sign off.

 

New Instructor

For current RAID Instructors who are new to teaching First Aid:

  • Purchase the First Aid Instructor online USD 75.00 (Contact RAID UK & Malta directly for Sterling pricing)
  • Complete the online theory – Instructor rating includes student theory

RAID is proud to announce the update of the RAID Deco 40 and 50 diver and instructor programs and the launch of the Deco 40 and 50 Instructor Trainer module. 

We have taken a new approach to the development of all our new technical manuals where the bulk of the information is contained in the entry level programs, and then as divers progress, they are presented with only the information needed to make that progression.

Therefore, the Deco 40 and 50 manuals vary only slightly since divers can enter at either the Deco 40 or 50 level, depending upon their experience, certification level and personal desire.

Contact RAID UK for more details: info@diveraiduk.com 

and check out the course specs on RAID International:

OPEN CIRCUIT DECO 40m / 132ft SPECIALITY
OPEN CIRCUIT DECO 50m / 164ft SPECIALITY
OPEN CIRCUIT INSTRUCTOR DECO 40m / 164ft SPECIALITY
OPEN CIRCUIT INSTRUCTOR DECO 50m / 164ft SPECIALITY
