PADI Oxygen Provider Course

The course is open to both divers and nondivers because it includes practical training but no dives. The PADI Emergency
Oxygen Provider course knowledge development is ideally completed as self-study; and practical skills may be practiced in
the classroom, by a pool, on the beach or on a dive boat allowing for great scheduling flexibility. With a natural link to
the PADI Rescue Diver course, PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider can serve as an enhanced substitute for the emergency
oxygen segment in that course.

Rescue Diver course and allowing your students to earn both the PADI Rescue Diver and PADI
