EMERGENCY OXYGEN PROVIDER

Providing emergency oxygen has become a standard practice for treating injured scuba divers. Having emergency oxygen immediately available at dive locations is extremely important to divers suffering from any kind of DCI. First Responders must know how to provide oxygen in an emergency. The goal of this entry-level emergency oxygen course is to train all divers - from Junior Open Water Diver and above - also those who help divers – boat captains, lifeguards etc.
