The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Course prepares scuba divers, and non-divers to respond with confidence and experience to any situation where administering pure oxygen would be beneficial.
Breathe easy - knowing that you know how to recognise illnesses treatable by emergency oxygen. Being the best buddy, husband, wife or family member you can be, means being prepared – especially in a time of need.

For recreational scuba divers, emergency oxygen is the primary first 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 these maladies. Along with the availability of oxygen at dive sites, first responders must know how to provide oxygen in an emergency.

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.
