Emergency Oxygen Provider

Oxygen Can Make a Difference

When a diving emergency occurs, one of the most important first aid treatments is the prompt administration of emergency oxygen. Knowing when oxygen should be provided is just as important as knowing how to deliver it.

The Emergency Oxygen Provider course teaches you to recognize diving injuries and illnesses that may benefit from emergency oxygen and gives you the hands-on skills needed to safely assemble and operate oxygen delivery equipment. There are no prerequisites, age restrictions, or water sessions, making it an excellent course for divers, boat crews, lifeguards, and anyone who spends time around the water.
