DAN Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries
$95, 4 hour course includes: student workbook, slate, and certification card

The course is designed to train and educate the general diving public in the techniques of using oxygen as first aid for a suspected dive injury. In addition, this course will introduce novice divers to the fundamentals of recognizing diving injury warning signs, response and management. This program also provides an excellent opportunity for experienced divers and instructors to continue their education.

The DAN Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries course is not designed to train lay persons to provide oxygen to the general public. While the medical standards and equipment are the same regarding the emergency use of oxygen for both divers and non-divers, the DAN Oxygen Provider course does not prepare individuals to respond to the ill or injured member of the general public by using emergency oxygen.

Minimum age: none
Prerequisite: none, however CPR & First Aid are recommended

 

DAN Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries

Learn to:

  • Demonstrate how to assemble and prepare the Manually Triggered Ventilator (MTV) and Bag Valve Mask (BVM).

DAN On-Site Neurological Assessment for Divers
$75, 2 hour course includes: student workbook, slate, and certification card

Approximately two-thirds of divers with decompression illness have evidence of damage to the nervous system. These signs are often vague and can go unrecognized by the diver. This can cause them to be dismissed as insignificant or not dive-related.

This program focuses on how to obtain essential information about a diver involved in a dive emergency and what information to relay to emergency medical services.

Only medical professionals should diagnose medical conditions. The information you gather while performing a neurological assessment will be useful to help the dive physician understand the extent of the injury and how it has changed in the time it took to get the diver from the dive site to definitive care. Learn to:

  • Refresh the knowledge of the warning signs of a dive emergency
  • Identify when it is appropriate to conduct an On-Site Neurological Assessment
  • Conduct an On-Site Neurological Assessment

Minimum age: none
Prerequisite: none, however CPR & First Aid are recommended

 

DAN First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries
$75, 2 hour course includes: student workbook, slate, and certification card

Although serious hazardous marine life injuries are rare, most divers experience minor discomfort from unintentional encounters with fire coral, jellyfish and other marine creatures at some point in their dive careers. Knowing how to minimize these injuries helps you reduce diver discomfort and pain.

The First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries program is designed to provide knowledge regarding specific types of marine creature injuries and the general first aid treatment for those injuries.

Minimum age: none
Prerequisite: none, however CPR & First Aid are recommended
