All
of the classes listed below are offered through Blackwater Divers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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).
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.
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.
Diving Emergency
Management Provider Program
Learn the knowledge and skills from several courses into one
single approach to dive emergency management.
