Trip Summary

Rescuing this hero with CPR I performed for some 20+ minutes truly brought awareness to me about the importance of CPR and First Aid training for any boat owner/captain who is heading offshore. Because first responders can not get to you quick enough in situations like this! Very happy that everything fell into place that day and everyone onboard my friends vessel performed brilliantly in a very scary situation! 2019 New Years Resolution to recertify my CPR and First Aid training and advance my dive training for rescue diver and O2 provider!
