The DAN Oxygen Provider Course with Simply Scuba represents entry-level training designed to educate the general diving and non-diving public to better recognise possible dive-related injuries and to provide emergency oxygen first aid while activating the local emergency medical services and / or arranging for evacuation to the nearest available medical facility.
The course is designed to train and educate you in the techniques of using oxygen as first aid for a suspected dive injury. In addition, this course will introduce novice divers to the fundamentals of recognising diving injury signs and symptoms, response and management. This program also provides an excellent opportunity for experienced divers and instructors to continue their education.
The DAN Oxygen Provider course is not designed to train lay persons to provide oxygen to the general public. While the medical standards and equipment are the same regarding the emergency use of oxygen for both divers and non-divers, the DAN Oxygen Provider course does not prepare individuals to respond to the ill or injured member of the general public by using emergency oxygen. |
