Scuba diving injuries are rare and symptoms are often subtle, but recognizing problems and initiating appropriate action can speed an injured diver’s recovery and minimize lasting effects. Oxygen first aid is one of the initial responses for diving injuries. This is the 1st line of care once the injured diver is surfaced, removed from the water, equipment removed and care has begun for the diver. 100% oxygen is needed to begin the care in order to start reducing the effects of DCI/DCS. (4hrs).
