The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Instructor course is designed for dive professionals who want to teach one of the most critical first response skills in diving. Emergency oxygen is the primary first aid treatment for many dive-related injuries, and proper training ensures oxygen is delivered quickly, safely, and effectively.

As an Emergency Oxygen Provider Instructor, you’ll learn how to teach divers and professionals to recognize when oxygen is needed, assemble and operate oxygen delivery systems, and manage emergency situations until advanced medical care is available. This specialty focuses on practical application, clear decision-making, and calm response under pressure.

At Space City Dive Center, Emergency Oxygen Instructor training emphasizes real-world readiness. You’ll refine how you demonstrate oxygen equipment use, teach emergency scenarios, and ensure students are confident responding to incidents both on boats and at dive sites.

This specialty is especially valuable for Divemasters, Instructors, boat crew, and dive leaders, and it pairs naturally with Rescue Diver, Divemaster, and professional-level training.
