Dive Training
If you don't have your Open Water Scuba Diving certification at a minimum, you'll can take scuba diving lessons from Greg Kelaart-Courtney PADI Master Instructor or Lisa Kelaart-Courtney PADI Assistant Instructor. To have Greg or Lisa get in touch with you, please complete the request for 'diving course request form'. Open water certification allows you to dive without an instructor present unless the charter requires it as part of the dive.
If you have your Open Water Certification, you might want to take additional scuba lessons while in Dubai to enhance your scuba diving experience - now and in the future.

Open Water Scuba Diving Certification
Your Open Water Scuba Diver certification allows you to rent equipment and/or buy air fills for your tanks. It gives you the basics to start diving with a friend or buddy  and limits the depth you can dive to a certain number of feet. Depending on the dive agency (PADI, NASE, NAUI, YMCA) from which you obtain your open water scuba diver certification, you may dive to a maximum depth of 60 or 100 feet below the surface. But remember, some of the best diving is found well above 60 feet! (For deeper dives and night dives, learn about scuba lessons for the Advanced Open Water Certification.)
Greg can teach you all of the basics with some book time required on your part. In addition to the books, there is a pool dive followed by 4 open water dives on the West or East Coast of the UAE. Greg will also test your new scuba skills during the final dives to make sure you have mastered the basics of breathing underwater!

Emergency First Responder - CPR & First Aid
The Emergency First Responder Primary Care training is a pre-requisite for the PADI Rescue Diver Course. Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid) teaches participants how to respond to life-threatening emergencies. The course focuses on primary care through a combination of knowledge development, skill development and realistic scenario practice to make sure participants have the confidence in their ability to provide care when emergency situations arise.
Emergency First Responder Care for Children
The Emergency First Response Care for Children course is an innovative CPR, AED and First Aid training course that teaches participants how to provide emergency care for injured or ill children (ages one to eight) and infants less than one year old. Participants learn about the types of medical emergencies that children face, and how they differ from adult conditions. The curriculum also includes the importance of attending to basic emergency situations with children, the emotional aspects of caring for children, secondary care for children, and preventing common injuries and illnesses in children.
 Emergency First Response Care for Children course trains the lay rescuer to follow the same priorities of care used by medical professionals. The student masters the priorities and the procedures of patient care for infants and children in a non-stressful learning environment, which reduces the performance anxieties that interfere with learning and enhances confidence when rendering aid in a real medical emergency.
The course includes both primary care (CPR) and secondary care (first aid) skills. The primary care portion of the course prepares the rescuer to render aid to an infant or child with a life-threatening emergency such as choking or cardiac arrest. Secondary care focuses on developing secondary patient care skills and building the rescuer's confidence to render first aid to an infant or child in need when emergency medical services are either delayed or unavailable. The Care for Children course content is based on guidelines from the Pediatric Working Group of ILCOR.
