Diving Medical Responder (DMR) Program
When Every Second Counts Beneath the Surface, Be the One Who’s Ready.
The Diving Medical Responder (DMR) program is a specialized emergency medical course designed for divers who want to be prepared to manage medical emergencies in remote, aquatic, or dive-specific environments. This course bridges the critical gap between standard dive training and professional medical response, equipping students with real-world skills to respond effectively when immediate help isn't available.
What You’ll Learn
- Dive injury assessment & emergency scene management
- Neurological evaluation protocols for divers
- Oxygen administration, airway management, and patient monitoring
- Treatment for barotrauma, DCS, drowning, marine life injuries, and more
- Emergency evacuation planning and communications
- Use of dive-specific medical kits and trauma gear
This is not a CPR class—it’s a comprehensive, field-tested course tailored to the unique medical challenges encountered in diving.
Who Should Take the DMR Course?
The DMR program is ideal for:
- Recreational and Technical Divers
- Dive Instructors, Dive Masters, and Dive Leaders
- Public Safety Divers and Recovery Teams
- Scientific Divers
- Expedition Guides, Liveaboard Crew, and Yacht Staff
- Anyone operating in remote marine environments or without immediate EMS access
Whether you're diving offshore, exploring caves, working in contaminated water, or leading divers in remote locations, DMR certification elevates your capability, credibility, and confidence.
Flexible Hybrid Format
The DMR program is offered in a convenient hybrid format, including:
- Online Learning Modules (self-paced)
- Live Virtual Sessions with experienced dive medics
- In-Person Skill Workshops at testing sites throughout Florida:
Tampa | Orlando | Pompano Beach | Jacksonville
DMR courses are held every other month, allowing you to train on your schedule while receiving personalized, expert-led instruction.
Optional Add-On: Emergency Medical Responder (EMR)
While EMR certification is not required, it is highly recommended for those who want a nationally recognized medical certification and a stronger foundation in prehospital emergency care. Completing the EMR course first significantly enhances your understanding of the DMR content. Learn more about the EMR program by clicking here, Emergency Medical Responder Program
