The family of Paul Gardner have launched a lifesaving app that teaches people how to perform CPR.
Paul, of North Shields, was celebrating his 24th birthday in the Spanish resort of San Antonio, Ibiza and had been jumping off rocks into the sea below with his friends.
The strength of the sea caused him to swallow water and he passed out, but when his friends pulled him to dry land none of them knew CPR, apart from Paul.
Since his death in 2018, his mum Carla Hunter and step dad Billy Ions have dedicated their time to raising awareness about the importance of knowing CPR.
Now they have launched a free app that can teach people the lifesaving skill.
Billy said: "We have designed the app so that anybody can use it.
"It is straightforward, if there are any problems or someone is in danger, straight away it will tell them exactly what to do.
"It works with Android or Apple and there are videos that teach you what to do."
The launch was held at Norham High School where Paul studied, with CPR lessons taking place throughout the day and cardiologist Michael Norton talking about how CPR should be performed.
Billy said they hoped more lives could be saved by launching the app.
He added: "It is so close to Paul's mam and myself, thinking at least something good is coming out of something so tragic.
"There has even been a couple of lives saved with the defibrillators."
It is the latest steps taken by Paul's loved ones to prevent tragedy hitting another family.
After his death, friends rallied together to raise thousands of pounds money in memory of Paul, with his family using it to install defibrillators and raise awareness about the importance of CPR.
Defibrillators were installed at North Shields Fish Quay car park, YMCA North Shields, Crusoe's Cafe in Tynemouth, North Shields marina and on the Long Sands Beach.
The campaign has also included funding CPR training sessions in schools, campaigning to make teaching it compulsory from a young age, as well as supplying buoys in the area where Paul was killed.
Billy added: "I think this is what he deserved as a person. He was such a nice person, he was so happy."
