EMERGENCY LIFE SAVER™ (ELS) ONLINE
Maritime Emergency Medical Training
Because Help May Be Hours Away.
Medical emergencies do not wait until you are back at the dock. Whether you are fishing offshore, cruising with family, or operating a sportfishing vessel, you are often the first and only medical responder until professional help arrives.
The D-DEY Offshore Emergency Life Saver™ (ELS) Online Course was created to give boat owners, captains, crew members, and families the knowledge and confidence to begin managing medical emergencies at sea.
This 4-hour online training program uses D-DEY protocols, quick reference guides, presentation slides, skill demonstration videos, and section quizzes to teach the core decision-making and emergency response concepts from our ELS-M training program.
Important certification note: This online course provides the classroom and knowledge portion of training. A hands-on skills portion is required in order to receive a CPR/AED certification. Customers who need CPR/AED, First Aid, or B-CON certification must complete the required in-person skills validation with D-DEY or another approved instructor.
