DAN Training Programs
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.
Course Cost: $75 plus course materials
Oxygen First Aid for Aquatic Emergencies
This course trains non-divers and professional rescuers (such as lifeguards) to
recognize near-drowning / submersion incidents and other aquatic medical emergencies
and to provide basic life support including the use of oxygen first aid.
Course Cost: $75 plus course materials
DEMP: Diving Emergency Management Provider Program
Learn the knowledge and skills from several courses into one single approach to
dive emergency management. Class covers Oxygen Provider, AED for Divers, Hazardous
Marine Life and Advanced Oxygen Provider.
Course Cost: $195 plus course materials
On-Site Neuro Assessment
While diving injuries are rare, unfortunately they do happen. This course will train
you to spot the subtle signs of decompression sickness before they get serious.
It is a must for every diver.
Course cost: $75 plus materials (Current Oxygen First Aid required)
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.
Course Cost: $50 plus course materials
Automated External Defibrillators for Scuba Diving
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).
Course Cost: $50 plus course materials (Current CPR required)
Automated External Defibrillators for Aquatic Emergencies
When a person drowns, they may or may not inhale water. They normally enter cardiac
arrest because of the inability to breathe. This course teaches interested parties
to provide care for cardiac arrest by using an automated external defibrillator
(AED).
Course Cost: $50 plus course materials (Current CPR required)
Remote Emergency Medical Oxygen (REMO2)
The DAN Remote Emergency Medical Oxygen (REMO2) 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.
Course Cost: not being taught at this time.
Diving Medicine for Divers

for you. This modular program includes sections on fitness to dive, safety planning
and basic physical examinations.
Course Cost:
