DAN Hazardous Marine Life Injuries: have you ever worried about be stung or bitten while scuba diving?

Most of us scuba dive or snorkel because we want to interact with and observe aquatic life. I mean who wouldn't want to in the tropical water of Phuket? However, it is also one of the reasons that some people are afraid to venture on to or under the sea. In reality though, injuries caused by hazardous marine life are rare and usually the result of a diver’s carelessness and a defensive reaction by the animal.

Now you know the basics about First Aid for HMLI.

However what would you do if the person you were treating, for example a scuba diver out on a Day Trip or a Liveaboard, got worse and needed further treatment?

The most likely scenario is that you would need to administer Oxygen especially if out at sea with no medics or Drs around, and that it might well be your job to apply First Aid.

As such the DAN Oxygen Provider Course is an extremely valuable add-on in this course, which goes hand-in-hand with the PADI Rescue Diver Course and PADI Divemaster Courses.
