Diving Emergency Management Provider

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.

 The Diving Emergency Management Provider course includes:

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

The knowledge and skills from the DAN Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries module are optional in this program.

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 th ese 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

Train divers to respond to dive emergencies in a single comprehensive package. This is not a new training program from DAN. Rather, it is an all-inclusive method of presenting and promoting DAN Training Programs.
