Oxygen administration and AED

The course is designed to train the general diving public ( and non diving public) to recognise signs and symptoms of major Dive accidents.

It will cover how to provide oxygen to injured scuba divers at the highest possible concentration whilst alerting the relevant local emergency services effectively.

The course introduces the use of non rebreather masks, pocket masks and non resuscitator demand valve oxygen units as well as going into the physiology of AGE, decompression sickness and secondary drowning. It also looks at the stats for delay to calling emergency services and also delay to receiving recompression .

It is classroom based with dry practical sessions with one or more O2 units as well as use of the AED with a seperate qualification at the end.

We will provide all the student notes in an A4 page format as well as all the power point presentations
