| DAN´s
Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries Provider Course was designed to fill
the void in oxygen first aid training available for the general diving public.
At Simply Diving Costa del Sol, Spain, our principle Dan instructor is David Moore.
This course represents entry level training designed to
educate the general diving (and qualified non-diving) public in recognising possible
dive related injuries and providing emergency oxygen first aid while activating
the local emergency medical services (EMS) and/or arranging for evacuation to
the nearest available medical facility. In DAN´s most recent dive
accident record, less than 33% of injured divers received emergency oxygen in
the field. Few of those received oxygen concentrations approaching the recommended
100%. DAN and all major diving instructional agencies recommend that all divers
be qualified to provide 100% oxygen in the field to those injured in a dive accident.
