PADI Emergency Oxygen Instructor
Providing oxygen to an injured diver can make a difference in the diver's chances of recovery. Oxygen is important in the treatment of diving injuries, and quite often is the only form of first aid provided to injured divers. Oxygen can also be vital in first aid in non-diving medical emergencies like heart-attack, stroke and shock!
Every diver should know how to supply oxygen, and the precautions that apply to its use. Learning to provide oxygen is easy, and the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider program is the perfect way for a diver to learn how and when to provide oxygen. The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider uses easy to use oxygen delivery devices including the demand valve, non-rebreather mask, pocket mask with oxygen inlet and manually triggered resuscitation valve.
The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Specialty Instructor Training Course teaches the PADI Professional how to deliver this course, and how it can be integrated into other PADI courses, particularly the Rescue Diver program. The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Specialty Instructor Training Course takes less than 1 day, and is scheduled regularly at all venues.
Prerequisites
To participate in the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Specialty Instructor Training course, an individual must be a Teaching status PADI Instructor, PADI Assistant Instructor or active status PADI Divemaster.

The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider course is appropriate for all divers and non-divers who may support divers (boat captains, lifeguards, family, friends, etc).
