DAN – Diving Emergency Management Provider

Learn the knowledge and skills from several courses into one single approach to dive emergency management.

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.

Divers and dive professionals interested in understanding first aid care for dive emergencies can now take the Diving Emergency Management Provider course from a DAN Instructor. This single program integrates the knowledge and skills from several DAN Training Programs into a single eight-hour day.

The Diving Emergency Management Provider course includes:

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

After reviewing the skills and knowledge development portions of this program, the students then participate in an integrated scenario where they get the opportunity to bring together all of the skills they learned in each of the segments into a single scenario.

DAN offers several dive-oriented first aid training programs. Because these courses are often taught independently, there is repetitive information and skills. The Diving Emergency Management Provider program allows DAN Instructors to offer an integrated program to train divers to learn the information and skills in DAN Training Programs, at a significant savings of time, but without sacrificing any skills.

Program Objective
