DAN´s 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 DAN´s 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.Note: We
highly recommend DAN's "DEMP" program for the most complete training in
providing Oxygen
Course Prerequisites
- No dive certification required
- Age Limit 12 yrs or older
- Participant Pack
What will I do?
The course is designed to train and educate the general diving public in the
techniques of using oxygen as first aid for a suspected dive injury. In
addition, this course will introduce novice divers to the fundamentals of
recognizing diving injury warning signs, response and management. This program
also provides an excellent opportunity for experienced divers and instructors to
continue their education.
How long will it take?
With home study, this
course may be completed in as little as 3 to 4 hours.
What is the Training Fee? $55 (includes
C-Card)

Basic Life
Support for Dive Pros (BLS Pro) |
Diving Emergency Management
Provider (DEMP) |
| The remote nature of dive accidents, whether a few hours from shore or days from
civilization, frequently requires more advanced levels of care than are offered
by traditional or entry-level CPR programs. DAN Instructors and Instructor
Trainers will now be able to offer a healthcare provider-level basic life
support program for their student and divers.
Called Basic Life Support for Dive Professionals (BLSPRO), this program is
ideal for dive professionals and divers interested in understanding
professional-level resuscitation techniques. This program is designed to be
applicable to the diving market, including scenes and scenarios from dive
situations, as well as the non-diving/healthcare market.
Coupled with DAN’s existing Training Programs and the new Advanced Oxygen
First Aid program, DAN Instructors and Instructor Trainers will now be able to
offer a complete diving emergency program.
This program also addresses basic life support skills for adults, children
and infants.
Skills learned in this program that set it apart from lay-provider level CPR
courses include:
- two-person CPR;
- ventilation using a bag valve mask;
- finger sweep;
- suctioning;
- cricoid pressure; and
- the technique for caring for an unconscious choking victim.
How long will it take?
Home study required. This
course takes ~8 hours.

It is a rare event when a dive
emergency is a single event. More often than not, separate small
problems compound to create a larger problem. Divers and dive
professionals interested in understanding first aid care for dive
emergencies can now take the Diving Emergency Management Provider course
from a DAN Instructor. This single program integrates the knowledge and
skills from several DAN Training Programs into a single eight-hour day.
 The Diving Emergency Management Provider course includes:
- Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries
- Advanced Oxygen First-Aid for Divers
- First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries
- Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for Scuba Diving
The knowledge and skills from the DAN Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba
Diving Injuries module are optional in this program.
After reviewing the skills and knowledge development portions of this
program, the students then participate in an integrated scenario where they get
the opportunity to bring together all of the skills they learned in each of the
segments into a single scenario.
How long will it take?
Home Study required. This
course takes ~6 hours of class time.
Training Fee? $75 (includes
C-Card)
