How Not To Scuba Dive
There are several certification courses for scuba (e.g. PADI, SSI, NAUI). All of them cover the basic concepts of scuba diving as defined by the World Recreational Scuba Training Council (WRSTC). It might look easy to throw on a tank and jump in the water, but not following the basics can lead to death. Here's a video of a couple divers who skipped some basic points, namely not diving below 100-130ft on a recreational dive and to always pay attention to your oxygen supply levels. If the diver taking the video did not intervene, it is likely that they would have run out of air at 130ft deep.

AHA - Hands Only CPR
When an adult has a sudden cardiac arrest, his or her survival depends greatly on immediately getting CPR from someone nearby. Unfortunately, less than 1/3 of those people who experience a cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public location get that help. Most bystanders are worried that they might do something wrong or make things worse. That’s why the AHA has simplified things.
