02.03.18 DAN First aid Pro Class

[dabbott]

Hi Reefcheckers!

Bob Halem has once again generously offered to teach this class to any interested Reefchecker. The course will be held from 9am to 5pm at Diver Dan's in Santa Clara on Saturday Feb 3rd. The only charge will be $20 to cover some supplies and the DAN certification card. This is a huge bargain, and I want to thank Bob for teaching the class, and making our community that much safer.

DAN has changed the program so that completion of the online class is required for certification. Bob will need everyone's email address so that he can send you the link (no cost), so in addition to signing up here for the class, send Bob an email (bob@wescraft.com) so that he has your contact info.

Here is the description from the DAN website:

Diving First Aid for Professional Divers
