Emergency Oxygen Instructor Course
Emergency Oxygen for Scuba Diving Injuries
Scuba diving injuries are rare and symptoms are often subtle, but recognizing problems and initiating appropriate action can speed an injured diver’s recovery and minimize lasting effects. Prepare your divers to administer oxygen first aid as an initial response for diving injuries.
Your Instructor
The first step in being prepared to handle a diving emergency is education. DAN courses teach you the first aid steps to care for an injured diver and interact with medical professionals.
