CPR/AED Course for Scuba ?

Q. My local Health Club is giving a Certification course in CPR/AED (Automated External Defibrillator) under the auspices of the American Heart Association. I have read that certain Scuba Courses require CPR Certification. Will this course satisfy that requirement? Any comments will be appreciated.

A. - I have taken CPR a total of 4 times in the past 30 years and the methodology has evolved significantly. I had one opportunity to use the training, but it was a head-on car wreck, and there was just nothing that could be done for the kid. Post mortem it was discovered that the force of the crash had torn his aorta loose from his heart, so he never had a chance. The ME said that he would have likely died if the injury had occured in the hospital emergency room, let alone 1.5 hours from the nearest hospital. - It needs to have a first aid component, or it may not be accepted for rescue. I would take it no matter what. As a note, I just recertified in the Emergency First Responder, and we did both AED and O2. They weren't part of the course, but the instructor felt they were important.
