DAN
Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries
Ever wonder what to do with that big green suitcase? How would you help your buddy if he/she needed oxygen? As a recreational diver, you can receive training to provide vital first aid that can make a difference to a scuba diver with decompression illness. The DAN Oxygen Provider Course provides entry-level training in the recognition and management of possible diving-related injuries using emergency oxygen first aid. 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.
This course takes one night (4 hours) and is a combination of knowledge development and practical, fun, hands-on skills development! It is recommended that you pick up your student workbook and read through it and answer the review questions after each section BEFORE you come to class. The course is also available as a PADI Distinctive Specialty for an additional fee. Cost: $85 Call or email Janna if you'd like to schedule this course!
