Diving Emergency Management Specialist

Learn the knowledge and skills from several courses into one single approach to dive emergency management including:

The DAN Oxygen Provider course provides entry-level training in the recognition and management of possible diving-related injuries using emergency oxygen first aid.
The Advanced Oxygen Provider is designed to train existing DAN Oxygen Providers to use the MTV-100 or a bag valve mask while providing care for a non-breathing injured diver.
The Hazardous Marine Life Injuries course teaches divers to reduce discomfort and pain from unintentional encounters with fire coral, jellyfish or other marine creatures.
The AED module teaches you to provide care for sudden cardiac arrest, including the use of an automated external defibrillator (AEDs) specific to a diving environment.

Field Neurological Assessment

Learn how to conduct a layman’s neurological assessment on a potentially injured diver. The information gained in this assessment can help convince a diver of the need for oxygen first aid and help a dive physician determine the proper treatment.

BLS for Professional Divers

The remote nature of dive accidents, whether a few hours from shore or days from civilization, frequently requires more advanced levels of care than are offered by traditional or entry-level CPR programs.

Diving Emergency Specialist Award

Our Instructional philosophy includes being properly trained and prepared for the many possibilites that may occur during scuba diving activities. As such we strongly support continuing education for divers and are proud to assist you in achieving the Diving Emergency Specialist Rating from DAN.

To earn the DES rating you must have earned your PADI Rescue Diver, EFR Primary and Secondary Care, and Emergency O2 certification plus 3 of the following:

DES is the highest medical based rating available to non-professional divers, but it also shows how serious you are about diving safety should you chose to pursue a PADI Divemaster Internship.
