DAN Emergency Oxygen for Diving Injuries: Hands-On Lifesaving Training in Orlando

Orlando, Florida is an unlikely place to practice the most urgent skills a diver can use: administering emergency oxygen. At DAN Emergency Oxygen for Diving Injuries, held in central Orlando, trainees learn how to recognize diving illnesses such as decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism and how to provide life-saving oxygen until advanced medical care arrives. The course is taught in a hands-on format with real oxygen delivery systems and small group sizes, giving participants repeated practice assembling equipment, selecting masks and regulators, and monitoring responsive and unresponsive patients. This one-day training focuses on practical skills and decision-making. Students practice using non-rebreather masks, pocket masks, demand valve systems, and oxygen first aid kits used in dive operations. Instructors demonstrate flow rates, cylinder management, and safety checks, then supervise scenarios that simulate surface rescues, boat incidents, and shore-based responses. The controlled setting in Orlando allows divers, dive professionals, and boat crew members to rehearse timed interventions and communication with emergency medical services — critical steps that improve outcomes after an underwater injury. What makes this program stand out locally is its emphasis on realistic equipment and role-specific drills. For dive operators on Florida’s coasts and inland training sites, the DAN curriculum aligns with the gear and emergencies you will actually encounter. Small classes (limit of 6) mean instructors can tailor feedback and ensure every student demonstrates competency before certification. That practical confidence translates directly to safer dive operations and quicker, more organized responses when accidents occur. Practical tips for attendees: arrive with basic first-aid knowledge, wear comfortable clothing you can kneel in, and expect hands-on mannequin work. The course suits new divers who want preparedness and seasoned professionals seeking a refresher. While the focus is oxygen administration, instructors also cover record-keeping and coordinating evacuation with EMS and hyperbaric facilities. If you plan to dive in Florida’s inland springs or offshore reefs, this training is a high-impact investment in safety. It’s not only an educational day — it’s an opportunity to practice calm, effective responses under pressure, and to network with local dive operators who prioritize diver welfare. Book ahead; courses fill quickly for crews preparing for the busy winter and spring dive seasons. Beyond hands-on gear work, instructors emphasize judgement calls — when to start oxygen, how to prioritize airway and circulation, and how to document the incident for medical teams. Participants report leaving with clearer protocols for on-boat chain of command and decision cycles during drills. The course also reinforces maintenance basics for oxygen cylinders and regulators so equipment is ready when it matters. Whether you operate charters, work as crew, or dive casually, the practical repetition and scenario practice make this class an essential addition to your safety routine.
