What is Oxygen?

Oxygen is a colorless, odorless gas essential for life on Earth. It makes up roughly 21% of the air we breathe, and it’s necessary to sustain both plants and animals. Oxygen plays an integral role in many different biological processes, such as cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and even metabolic functions like digestion. Learn more about this in our Emergency Oxygen Provider course.

Benefits of the emergency oxygen provider Course

The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Course teaches students how to recognize signs of distress or unconsciousness related to oxygen deprivation and administer emergency oxygen when needed. Participants learn about the physiological effects of oxygen deprivation, maintenance and use of emergency oxygen equipment, proper techniques for administering supplemental oxygen, and safety considerations with using supplemental oxygen systems. This course is ideal for divers who want to gain additional knowledge related to providing emergency medical care during dive operations. With this certification, divers will be better prepared should a medical emergency arise.

Course Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites. In fact, your non-scuba diving family and friends can take this course with you. This is an excellent option for the person who wants to just drive the boat! Having said that, oxygen assistance is only one step in the bigger first aid/CPR model which you should consider as well. This course is most commonly done with the EFR (Emergency First Response) and Rescue Diver courses.

Scenario Training

Scenario Training is an important part of the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Course. This type of course teaches divers how to administer oxygen in case of a dive emergency, and it also helps them understand how to recognize the signs and symptoms of decompression illness or other related diving injuries. By understanding what to look for, divers can react quickly and appropriately when an incident occurs.
