PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider
No one wants to see a fellow human being in trouble, especially if that person just happens to be your dive buddy. Being ready to help a fellow diver if ever the need arises by becoming a PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider should be at the top of every divers ‘to do’ list.
It will help you breathe easy knowing that you know how to recognise illnesses treatable by emergency oxygen. Being the best buddy you can be means being prepared, especially in a time of need.

Where To?
Where can I go from here?
Once you have completed your PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider you have started on a programme of diver awareness and responsibility. A further step would be to complete the PADI Emergency First Response (EFR) and Resuce Diver courses.
Once you have completed five PADI specialties, the PADI Rescue Diver course and have 50 logged dives you hold all the prerequisites for the PADI Master Scuba Diver certification. This is the highest non-professional rating in the PADI system of diver education.
Here at Aquasport all of our Instructors hold this level of recreational certification. We recommend that every diver takes this route regardless of their further ambitions as we see it as a commitment to education and a real achievement.
