The Oxygen Provider course is designed to provide basic training to administer oxygen to victims of diving accidents. When combined with the Rescue Diver and Emergency First Response courses it provides the best preparation on how to react correctly to any diving related accident.

Emergency oxygen is useful as a treatment for many injuries, diseases and intoxications that interfere with oxygen reaching the blood or tissues. For recreational scuba divers, emergency oxygen is the primary aid given to individuals suffering from a near drowning or decompression illness (lung overexpansion injuries and decompression sickness). Providing emergency oxygen has become the standard of practice for treating injured scuba divers since it provides oxygen to starved tissues and aids in bubble reduction.

Having emergency oxygen immediately available at dive locations is especially important to divers suffering from them. Along with the availability of oxygen at dive sites, ?rst responders must know how to provide oxygen in an emergency. This course is designed to give students the knowledge and skills necessary to provide emergency oxygen to a suddenly ill or injured patients until more advanced medical help can be obtained; ability to understand the hazards associated with oxygen use and to practice safe handling techniques.
