Diving Emergency Management Provider Program

It is a rare event when a dive emergency is a single event. More often than not, separate small problems compound to create a larger problem.

Divers and dive professionals interested in understanding first aid care for dive emergencies can now take the Diving Emergency Management Provider (DEMP) course from a DAN Instructor. This single program integrates the knowledge and skills from several DAN training programs into a single eight-hour day — at a significant savings of time but without sacrificing any skills.

The DEMP course includes:

Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries

Advanced Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries

First Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for Scuba Diving

After reviewing the skills and knowledge development portions of this program, the students then bring together all the skills they learned in each of the segments into a single scenario.
Recommended Hours of Training
8 hours (4 hours using online knowledge development)

Student Prerequisites
Current certification in DAN Basic Life Support and First Aid or other CPR course
