DAN Basic Life Support: CPR & First Aid

Dive WIth Frank

Frank was patient and fantastic with us for our Dry Suit Class.  We left the pool feeling infinitely more confident than when we arrived!  Frank made sure to explain everything clearly and demo before we were asked to do it.  Frank was easy to communicate with to make arrangements and get everything set up for the PADI course.  Thanks Frank!

PADI Drysuit Diver Specialty – Because Shivering Is Overrated

Recently joined Frank for a Zombie Apocalypse Diver specialty and had a great time! Great instructor who adapted the course to the students easily and made sure it was both educational and fun. Would absolutely take a class with him again in the future. The ZAD class itself is worth it for the opportunity to play with bubble ring guns ALONE!

Halloween Zombie Apocalypse Diver

Great trip!
Frank is very knowledgeable and experienced  instructor!
Thanks again!

October 2025 Oyster Dive

Great time as always! This is my second trip with Frank. Well organized and planned. I am looking forward to doing it again next year. 

Frank is an excellent instructor who is very passionate, knowledgeable, and competent. He makes complex topics easily digestible, and so much fun!

Certification Card

A pocket mask is a clear, compact device used to deliver rescue breaths during CPR. It is typically made of soft, transparent plastic or silicone that forms a seal over the patient’s nose and mouth. Key features:<ul><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">One-way valve and filter – allows air to flow from rescuer to patient while preventing backflow of exhaled air, secretions, or pathogens.</li><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Oxygen port – many masks have an inlet to attach supplemental oxygen tubing, increasing oxygen delivery during rescue breathing.</li><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Hand placement – the rescuer holds the mask using the “E-C clamp” technique: thumbs and index fingers form a “C” around the mask to create a seal, while the other fingers perform a jaw-lift.</li><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Advantages – reduces direct mouth-to-mouth contact, decreases risk of disease transmission, and makes ventilations more effective.</li><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Portability – small enough to carry in a pocket, kit, or attached to a keychain case.</li></ul>It’s both a protective barrier and an efficiency tool for trained rescuers.

Pocket Mask

The slate is a durable, waterproof, quick-reference tool issued with the DAN Basic Life Support course. It is designed to help trained rescuers recall the essential sequence of actions in a BLS emergency without needing to rely solely on memory, especially in high-stress environments.Key Characteristics:<ul><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Content: The slate condenses the full BLS protocol into a clear, step-by-step outline, including: scene safety, victim assessment, activation of emergency services, chest compressions, rescue breaths with barrier devices (like the pocket mask), AED integration, and recovery positioning.</li><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Design: It’s a double-sided, color-coded plastic slate that is waterproof and rugged, making it suitable for dive environments and outdoor use.</li><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Purpose: Not intended as a teaching aid during class but as a field-ready reference after certification. Its function is to reinforce retention of the sequence and reduce hesitation during real-life response.</li><li class="ui-30d40835-py-17 ui-30d40835-bg-gray-400 ui-30d40835-border-gray-400">Use Cases: Can be carried in a dive gear kit, clipped to a bag, or stored with a first aid kit. It serves as a memory jogger, not a replacement for skill mastery.</li></ul>
