Emergency Oxygen Provider


Be the one ready to help a fellow diver should the need arise by becoming a PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider. Breathe easy - knowing that you know how to recognise illnesses treatable by emergency oxygen. Being the best buddy you can be means being prepared – especially in a time of need.

You may also count this Specialty certification toward one of the five required Specialties for the Master Scuba Diver Certification.

What do I need to start?
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. Minimum of 10 years old.

What will I do?
You learn how to:
  • Recognise diving illnesses treatable by emergency oxygen
  • Properly set-up equipment
  • Administer emergency oxygen
We can also integrate this course into your Rescue Course as an additional element during your academic sessions or as part of your Emergency First Response First Aid training course.

What will I need?
As part of the course you will be provided an PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Manual and 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.
