This course is designed to educate the general diving (and qualified
non-diving) public to better recognise possible dive-related injuries
and to provide emergency oxygen first aid while activating the local
emergency medical services (EMS) and / or arranging for evacuation
to the nearest available medical facility.
Course Objective
You will be trained 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.
There are no training pre-requisites or age limits for this course,
although having completed First Aid and CPR training is
recommended.
The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider course is generally
conducted over half a day.
