Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries

DANīs Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries Provider Course was designed to fill the void in oxygen first aid training available for the general diving public.

This course represents entry level training designed to educate the general diving (and qualified non-diving) public in recognizing possible dive related injuries and providing emergency oxygen first aid while activating the local emergency medical services (EMS) and/or arranging for evacuation to the nearest available medical facility.  This course is also offered as part of our DAN Diving Emergency Management Provider Program.

In DANīs most recent dive accident record, less than 33% of injured divers received emergency oxygen in the field. Few of those received oxygen concentrations approaching the recommended 100%. DAN and all major diving instructional agencies recommend that all divers be qualified to provide 100% oxygen in the field to those injured in a dive accident.

This course takes about one weeknight evening.  This is the training that will give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing what to do - if there is a problem and covers all the first aid skills that everyone should have.
