It was an intense and hands-on weekend as HHUC staff and instructors completed their annual CPR and first aid recertification training. Participants attained their NAUI Diving First Aid for Professional Divers (DFA Pro) certification through an innovative program resulting from a strategic partnership between NAUI and the world’s leading diving safety organization, Divers Alert Network (DAN). Feedback on the course was immensely positive!
