Scuba Dive Thailand - Emergency Oxygen Provider
This course represents entry level training designed to educate you in recognizing possible scuba 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.
Less than 33% of injured divers received emergency oxygen in the field due to DAN. Few of those received oxygen concentrations approaching the recommended 100%. All major scuba diving agencies recommend that all divers be qualified to provide 100% oxygen in the field to those injured in a dive accident.
Minimum Hours of Training are:

Skills Development (Practice) for about 3 hours.
