Chantelle Newman - Founder
South African WDHOF Chantelle is a diving veteran--at 13, having 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. She founded Diver Medic magazine and has dedicated her career to topside/subsurface safety!
Chantelle has been recognized as Women Divers Hall of Fame 2016, Member of the Explorers Club and is a noted Publisher/Author as well as a Course Director for a number of dive medical programs.
The Need
As an experienced Pre-hospital Provider, Chantelle noted the lack of emergency medical training available to both reactional divers, and Public Safety divers outside of traditional Commercial/Industrial Courses. She took it on herself to fix this. Thus the DiverMedic was born.
