DAN´s Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries Provider Course is an extension of the basic O2 Provider training.  It takes a previously qualified O2 Provider and gives them additional education, training, tools, and skills to help ensure proper and effective oxygen delivery in instances where the victim is not breathing or cannot maintain normal respiration on their own after a scuba diving or aquatic injury or  incident..  

This course builds upon the entry level training provided during the basic O2 course.  It is designed to educate the general diving and non-diving public in recognizing possible dive related injuries and providing emergency oxygen first aid while activating the local emergency medical services (EMS) and/or arranging for evacuation to the nearest available medical facility.  It prvoides further training in the use of ventilation bags, resuscitators, and manually triggered ventilation valves. 

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. Being able to effectively help in those situations where the victim is unable to maintain breathing on their own only adds to the value of the help you may be called upon to provide in an emergency.

Successful participants in this course will receive DAN's Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries certification.
