PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider
Within the dive community, statistics show that fewer than 50 percent of injured divers receive emergency oxygen in the field. Of those, still fewer receive oxygen concentrations approaching the recommended 100 percent.
The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider course provides simple and direct layperson level training for anyone - even people who aren't divers - who may need to provide scuba divers with emergency oxygen first aid.
On your next dive trip, be the one ready to help a fellow diver should the need arise. Beome a PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider.
