PADI Oxygen Provider Course
Today our PADI Instructor, Phil from Newastle ( we wont hold that against him) has been conducting the PADI Oxygen Provider Course for our two Divemaster internships, Michael and Martin.
Michael and Martin are in the middle of completing their Rescue Diver course along with the EFR and Care For Children Course and then once they have completed the PADI Oxygen Provider course they will be ready to get on with their PADI Go Pro Internship.
In the PADI O2 course You learn how to
- Recognize diving illnesses treatable by emergency oxygen
- Properly setup equipment
- Administer emergency oxygen
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.
Michael and Martin will soon be starting their Divemaster course so keep an eye on our blog for more updates on how they are going.
