Dive Atlantis

Data from diving accidents in the U.S.A., the U.K. and Australia indicate that in the vast majority of dive accidents (in excess of 90%), the victim is breathing and will benefit greatly from the provision of near 100 percent inspired oxygen.

The Oxygen Provider program is designed to teach the skills needed to perform this task safely and effectively.

Participants are certified in the use of the DAN Oxygen Unit, or equivalent system.

The certification is well recognized throughout the world through the International DAN Federation (IDAN).
