Our Adult, Child & Infant Emergency Care course is a comprehensive training program designed to teach participants how to respond to emergencies. The course combines CPR classes, first aid courses, and AED courses into one program. Anyone aged 10 and up (parental consent required for participants under 18) can enroll.  

It meets all international standards, is OSHA* and ILCOR compliant, and has been accepted by the United States Coast Guard (USCG). 

What you can expect to learn:

There are two components to your training to receive your certification. The first is academics and the second is skills. You must first pass your academics training to continue to the second phase and work with an instructor in a classroom setting. 

CPR Classes for Adults, Children, and Infants

CPR can be the difference between life and death in emergencies. This course provides hands-on CPR classes to people of all ages. Learning CPR in practice-based settings helps prepare you for real-world situations. 

Hands-on training helps participants: 

Child CPR Classes

Young bodies require different CPR methods than adults, and this course ensures you’re equipped to respond properly. Infants demand gentler and more precise handling during emergencies. Pediatric CPR training focuses on age-specific techniques to save newborns and toddlers.

Adult CPR Classes

Adult CPR remains a crucial skill, as most cardiac emergencies involve adults. You’ll practice chest compressions and rescue breathing designed for adult anatomy and physiology. 

What is the difference between adult and pediatric CPR?

Adults and older children receive breaths that cover both the nose and mouth, while infant rescue breaths only cover the nose, taking care not to over-inflate tiny airways. These modifications ensure that CPR is effective and safe across different age groups, accounting for anatomical and physiological differences. 

   Adults: CPR involves using both hands to deliver compressions at a depth of at least 2 inches, with a compression rate of 100-120 per minute.  

   Children: The compressions are slightly gentler, using one or both hands depending on the child’s size, and the depth is approximately 2 inches.  

   Infants: CPR requires an even more delicate approach, with two fingers used for the compressions and a depth of about 1.5 inches.  

Additionally, rescue breaths vary between age groups.  

First Aid Course

Prompt and proper first aid treatment prevents minor injuries from escalating into life-threatening conditions. This portion of our first aid course teaches techniques for:

First aid knowledge improves outcomes for the injured and fosters a culture of preparedness and proactive care in any setting. 

AED Course

Do you know how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)? Most public spaces now have AEDs readily available. Our AED course teaches you how to operate one correctly.

What is an AED?

An AED is a portable device that delivers an electric shock to restart a heart that has stopped beating. It’s an important tool in cardiac arrest, significantly increasing survival rates when used appropriately.

What you'll learn in the AED course:

Our AED course and CPR classes can help you assist someone in cardiac arrest and one day may save a life.

I can’t recommend this place enough. After moving to the area, I read a lot of reviews and emailed several dive shops before going with Scuba Adventures. I choose them because they were the most responsive and helpful. The owners seem to not only be great divers but have business backgrounds. This is the most focus on customer service I have seen in a dive shop. Good inventory with all of the brands I could ask for. On point with their pricing. If you do find a better price they will work with you.

I ended up taking the Rescue Diver course and had a blast! I just got back from a dive trip with them at Lake Travis, very enjoyable. They also have one of the only indoor pools (18 ft.) in the area.

At Scuba ranch they have a big spot that is one of the easiest to get to and a nice pavilion for training. They are right next to the air refill station, which I love! Family and friends are welcome at the ranch. Good community there on weekends and you'll most likely find a dive buddy for a fun dive.

Scuba Adventures and their staff are beyond amazing! Their Plano store has a very wide selection of equipment and the pool is 18ft deep! Their Scuba Ranch location is amazing and still growing, with plenty of room and seating. I’m a fairly new diver and all the instructors do an amazing job of making me feel safe and secure deep underwater. Their staff is always very helpful and I can’t wait to continue my diving knowledge and certificates with them.

Found a great diving shop for all my gear. Been living here in texas for awhile and this shop has just what I needed. Really recommend scuba adventure for all your gear.

Went in last week to pick out goggles for an upcoming trip— loved the selection of masks they had available! Ended up picking out a hot pink pair to shamelessly match the other accessories I’d picked out.

The new owners are the greatest! Their positive approach towards people and the sport of diving are huge part of the reason I love the sport. When they told me they were going to open a dive shop; I knew without a doubt I was going to be their customer. I have taken several dive adventures with them and other scuba diving misfits, and plan on taking many more.

Decided to revisit this shop since it is under new management. Already impressed with the facility improvements - by far the best training pool I have seen. Looking forward to the roll out of the full training curriculum - will be able to go from open water certified through all kinds of technical specialties. Good dive gear selection. Owners really have a great vision for promoting scuba diving and ocean adventures.

This is the shop with the most experienced and competent personnel in the metroplex. Their commitment to safe, enjoyable and professional instruction is obvious from the first time you enter the store and meet the staff and owners. I have dove with most of them over the years and know first hand the love of diving they have and now share with the community as the new team. They are knowledgeable and up to date with the latest dive info. Don't miss a chance to dive with them.

In January 2020, Scuba Adventures was purchased by divers that were affiliated with a different scuba store. These same divers taught me to dive, and got me to fall in love with scuba diving (despite me being pretty scared to start). I trust them, enough that I opted to take a trip with them to Cozumel for diving in 2019. It was one of the best trips of my life, and now I'm already signed up for their Costa Rica dive trip in 2020 with Scuba Adventures. I haven't visited the shop yet, but I can 100% vouch for the new owners--they are knowledgeable divers, good people, and all around amazing.

Owners and staff are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Allowed me to try backplate and wing set up in the pool. They did not pressure me to buy anything, but gave great information on products and financing options. All in all great staff and would recommend them to anyone!!!

Great customer service, from the owners to the employees. Very knowledgeable about everything and anything pertaining to scuba diving. The instructors are highly educated and experienced in scuba diving. They put you through real life scenarios, so you know and understand what to do in the event something happens while you are under water. My family and I learned a lot about scuba diving in a very short amount of time. We will definitely keep taking additional courses with Scuba Adventures as we progress. We definitely reccomend Scuba Adventures to anyone wanting to learn and get scuba diving certified.
