3 Sep 2008 - O2 Admin Course
BSAC Oxygen Admin SDC 3-4th September 2008
SQSAC will be running an Oxygen Admin SDC (Skill Development Course) on the 3rd and 4th of Sepetember, venue TBA.
Course is being organised by Ally Macgregor and will be run by Warren and Stevie.
This Event is open to all and I would encourage everyone to get trained or attend for a refresher as it may help to save a life one day. Oxygen is used in any Diving Emergency, or Incident and this Course trains you how to use the equipment and how to administer it. It also covers AV and CPR which is a vital skill to have. This also counts towards Dive Leader and signs of Lessons DT-2 to DT-7.
