Course instructor – Chantelle Newman
South African WDHOF Chantelle is a diving veteran – at 13, she had her first encounter with a white shark swimming right next to her! Chantelle moved to the UK, combining passions for diving and medicine to increase diving safety, where she founded Diver Medic magazine and has dedicated her career to topside/sub-surface safety!
Chantelle has been recognized in the Women Divers Hall of Fame 2016, is a Member of the Explorers Club and is a noted publisher/author as well as a Course Director for a number of dive medical programmes, as well as the DAN Europe Area Manager and Training Liaison.
As an experienced pre-hospital provider, Chantelle noted the lack of emergency medical training available to both recreational divers, etc – divers outside of traditional commercial/industrial courses, and she took it on herself to fix this.
