Did you know that less than 50 percent of all injured divers receive emergency oxygen in the field? Fewer still receive oxygen concentrations approaching the recommended 100 percent. Believing that we must do better than this, PADI has introduced the new PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Specialty course. This entry-level course teaches recognition of diving illnesses treatable by emergency oxygen, as well as proper equipment setup and administration. This course is fun, easy and open to all – divers and non-divers alike. Being the best buddy you can be means being prepared – especially in a time of need. To learn more about the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Specialty course, contact your local PADI Dive Center or Resort, and visit the Keep Diving section of www.padi.com
