Oct 29, 2023The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider course is an extension of the rescue course to teach the student how to administer oxygen until EMS arrives. Scott is a great instructor and very complete. He wants the student to understand the equipment and feel assured he or she can use it if needed. The PADI training from Divers Cove is a great way to build confidence and become a better diver with advanced education and training. Many thanks.
