CPR/First Aid, Oxygen Provider
Whether it’s being on the scene of an accident or witnessing a medical emergency, most people will be involved in a crisis at some point in their lives. First aid training and incident management skills empower people to step up and take action should these situations arise.
These courses are required for the rescue course and further training.

EMERGENCY OXYGEN FOR SCUBA DIVING INJURIES (EO2)
Administering emergency O2 is the preferred first aid for scuba diving injuries, and early administration can drastically improve the outcome for an injured diver. This course teaches you how to administer life-saving oxygen first aid to divers who may be suffering from decompression illness (DCI). Additionally, this course will teach you how to recognize the signs and symptoms of decompression illness and respond to them accordingly. The emergency response skills taught in this course are not unique to scuba diving; they’re applicable to many other watersports and other activities.
