Emergency Oxygen Provider

Breathe easy—knowing that you know how to recognize illnesses treatable by emergency oxygen. Being the best buddy you can be means being prepared – especially in a time of need.  Our instructor is a current certified paramedic from the United States and has 31 years of experience!  Rest assured you are receiving the absolute best possible course! 

You learn how to:

• Recognize diving illnesses treatable by emergency oxygen 
• Properly setup equipment 
• Deploying a non-rebreather mask and a demand inhaler valve on a breathing diver  

Scuba gear is not necessary to take this course.

The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Manual is an important component of PADI’s Emergency Oxygen training program. Before class, you’ll review a step-by-step explanation of when and how to provide emergency oxygen. You’ll also learn about safety considerations, and how to assemble and disassemble emergency oxygen equipment. The care-at-a-glance card is a quick reference guide to pack in your gear bag and review in case of an emergency. 

For all your learning materials and equipment, contact Blue Aquatics Divers.

Though suited for divers, this course has no prerequisites and doesn’t include dives, which means it is equally applicable to those who are around divers – boat crew, non-diving buddies, lifeguards, and shore staff. You don’t need any previous CPR or first aid training to take the course. 

The Emergency First Response certification, which covers CPR and first aid, pairs perfectly with the Emergency Oxygen Provider course. You’ll also want to be sure to complete your Rescue Diver and Master Scuba Diver rating to be the best prepared dive buddy around.
