 Divers
Alert Network (DAN)
Oxygen Provider Course
DANīs Oxygen First Aid for
Scuba Diving Injuries Provider Course was designed to
fill the void in oxygen first aid training available for
the general diving public.
This course represents
entry level training designed to educate the general
diving (and qualified 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.
In DANīs most recent dive
accident record, less than 33% of injured divers
received emergency oxygen in the field. Few of those
received oxygen concentrations approaching the
recommended 100%. 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
