Diving Emergency Management Provider Program

It is a rare event when a dive emergency is a single event. More often than not, separate small problems compound to create a larger problem.

The Diving Emergency Management Provider course includes:
Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries
First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries
Automated External Defibrillators for Scuba Diving

The knowledge and skills from the DAN Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries module are optional in this program.

Recommended Minimum Hours of Training
Knowledge Development (Lecture) = 3 Hours
