About ADES
A word from the Training Director.
 ADES stands for Atlantis Divers Emergency Services and its
overwhelming growth has been a direct result of its Instructors
and their backgrounds. I myself am a former Fire Fighter/EMT
and my experience background was with the Gaithersburg Fire
Department and the Wheaton Rescue Squad.
I had a rare opportunity
in 1998 to live in Abaco, Bahamas, where I had a small role
helping with the birth of the first EMS Service in Abaco
- “Trauma One.” We started with one ambulance
and a network of boats and small planes for island rescue.
It was at this time that I found I truly loved teaching and
wanted to surround myself with others who also loved teaching
Emergency Response and had a similar level of experience
to my own.
Atlantis Divers brought together professional Instructors
with years of experience in training First Aid providers
and Rescue Divers. The issue for the Instructors was that
most First Aid classes provided in the community lacked a
degree of thoroughness, and students felt rushed and uncertain
of their skills. Many students were unsure of how to handle
an emergency and instead of feeling pride and confidence
for obtaining this level of achievement and knowledge, these
students felt quite the opposite.
It was decided from day
one that ADES would NOT be just another quick First Aid shop.
ADES Instructors take pride in their dedication to thoroughly
train their students to be able to recognize, respond and
handle emergency situations in a fun, exciting and positive
atmosphere.
It’s the goal of ADES for each student
to leave feeling confident in their rescue skills. Also,
we wanted to ensure that our training would solve the never-ending
concern about what agency provides specific emergency certification
for the workplace. ADES staff will work with companies to
formulate the proper emergency action plans and help determine
the best fit for their training needs.
ADES became the only truly multi-agency First Aid School
in the Richmond community. ALL ADES Instructors have years
of real life rescue experience and have been recognized by
multiple agencies in the field. ADES also continually tests
and requires Instructors to attend ADES Emergency Simulation
Training along with monthly updates. I am so truly proud
of the ADES Instructors and the efforts and professionalism
they provide.
ADES is committed to the community and offers
easily customized training for the various needs for Virginia
workers and communities with day, evening, weeknight and
onsite training. We also provide continuing education and
real life emergency simulations that can be attended throughout
the year.
Looking for a certification card is easy and can be obtained
almost anywhere but if you’re truly looking for something
more and the confidence and knowledge that comes from
the best training available, then ADES emergency training is
for you.
Thank you for your time and feel free to email me directly
with any questions you may have,
David M. Hay
