Providing oxygen to an injured diver can make a substantial difference in the diver’s chances of recovery. Oxygen is vital in the treatment of diving injuries, and quite often is the only form of first aid provided to injured divers. Oxygen can also be important in first aid in non-diving medical emergencies like heart-attack, stroke and shock!

Every diver should know how to supply oxygen, and the precautions that apply to its use. Learning to provide oxygen is easy, and the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider program is an excellent way for a diver to learn how and when to provide oxygen. The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider uses easy to use oxygen delivery devices including the demand valve, non-rebreather mask, pocket mask with oxygen inlet and manually triggered resuscitation valve.

The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Specialty Instructor Training Course teaches the PADI Professional how to deliver this course, and how it can be integrated into other PADI courses, particularly the Rescue Diver program.
