Why oxygen training matters

In a near-drowning, a shallow water blackout, decompression illness, smoke inhalation, a bad asthma attack or a cardiac event, oxygen can change the outcome. But only if the person giving it knows the kit.

What we cover

When oxygen helps: dive injuries, near-drowning, cardiac events
Delivery systems: demand valves, non-rebreathers, BVMs
Looking after the kit: maintenance, storage and safety
Real practice under scenario conditions

What's included

Hands-on time with a full oxygen kit: regulator, demand valve, non-rebreather mask and pocket mask
SSI digital learning and your SSI certification

Who it's for

SSI Freediving Instructor candidates (it's a prerequisite), dive boat operators and skippers, surf, kayak and kite schools, and remote-site workers adding oxygen to their first aid.

Taught by Sacha Williamson, SSI Instructor Trainer, with 26+ years on the ocean.
