Why Emergency Oxygen Training Matters for Divers

Diving-related emergencies can occur even when divers follow proper procedures.

Being able to recognize a possible diving injury and provide appropriate emergency oxygen can improve the initial response while waiting for professional medical assistance.

For a dive operation, having trained personnel who understand emergency oxygen procedures is an important part of emergency preparedness.

Emergency Oxygen for Dive Operations

This course is especially recommended for:

Dive Centers

Train your dive guides, instructors, and support staff to respond appropriately to suspected diving emergencies.

Boat Crews

Boat crew may be the first people available to assist a diver after an incident.

Resorts

Resort staff and watersports personnel can benefit from emergency-response training.

Technical & Cave Teams

Technical and cave divers operate in environments where emergency planning and appropriate support are particularly important.

Certification

Upon successful completion of the required knowledge and practical skills, participants receive the applicable Emergency Oxygen Provider certification through the selected training agency.

This is a first-response training certification, not a medical qualification.

The provider is trained to assist within the limits of their training while professional medical assistance is being activated or arranged.

Important Medical Disclaimer

Emergency Oxygen Provider training does not qualify a person to:

• Diagnose a diving injury

• Prescribe medical treatment

• Replace a physician

• Operate as a medical professional

• Replace emergency medical services

Oxygen should be administered according to the training received and applicable emergency-response procedures.

When a diving emergency is suspected, appropriate professional medical assistance should be activated.
