Course Descriptions

Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries — As a recreational diver, you can receive training to provide vital first aid that can make a difference to a scuba diver with decompression illness. The DAN Oxygen Provider Course provides entry-level training in the recognition and management of possible diving-related injuries using emergency oxygen first aid.

Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries — This advanced-level program 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.

Remote Emergency Medical Oxygen (REMO2) — The DAN Remote Emergency Medical Oxygen system module supplements the DAN Oxygen First Aid in Scuba Diving Injuries course. Based on medical closed-circuit oxygen rebreather technology, the REMO2™ device provides injured divers with high concentrations of emergency oxygen for extended periods. This training course instructs the Oxygen Provider in the use of DAN's new REMO2™ system. This is a valuable class for those who have their own boats and need to be able to extend the time of a standard O2 cylinder because they are diving in remote locations.

First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries — Serious hazardous marine life injuries are rare, but most divers experience minor discomfort from unintentional encounters with fire coral, jellyfish and other marine creatures. This course teaches divers to minimize these injuries and reduce diver discomfort and pain.


On-Site Neurological Assessment for Divers — Learn how to conduct a neurological assessment on a potentially injured diver in this course. 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.

Automated External Defibrilator for Scuba Diving Injuries — More than 10 percent of all dive fatalities are actually caused by cardiovascular disease, according to DAN dive accident and fatality statistics. This course teaches divers and other interested parties to provide care for sudden cardiac arrest including the use of an automated external defibrillator (AEDs).

Diving Emergency Management Provider (DEMP) — DAN Training Programs are designed as independent programs. Therefore, many skills and knowledge background segments are repeated from one program to another. The DEMP program combines the four following courses into a single comprehensive course, while eliminating duplication of skills practice and knowledge development where appropriate:

  • Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries;
  • Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving;
  • First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries;
  • Automated External Defribillators (AEDs) for Scuba Diving.
