explanation of when and how to provide emergency
oxygen. You’ll also learn about safety
considerations, and how to assemble and disassemble

PADI Instructor, dive shop or resort.
Prerequisites
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.
Your Next Adventure
The Emergency First Response certification,
which covers CPR and first aid, pairs perfectly
with the Emergency Oxygen Provider course.
You’ll also want to be sure to complete
your Rescue Diver and Master Scuba Diver rating
to be the best prepared dive buddy around.
