DAN´s 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.
In DAN´s 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.
The cost of the course is $65.00
(Course costs are subject to
change without notice.)
The cost of the course includes
all equipment, instructor, and
certification fees.
Participation and payment for
this course DOES NOT guarantee
certification!
