Ocean Diver training - OT5 - What happens if?

Module objectives
Diver training is “preventive” training; not only when teaching diving skills but also when anticipating how to recognise and resolve problems should they arise. As Ocean Diver students are at an early level of training, some of the areas considered will give them an awareness rather than in-depth knowledge and these will be built on in later diver training grades.

Achievement targets At the end of this module students should:

• Understand that anticipating problems is part of dive training and planning
  
• Understand the importance of the early resolution of underwater problems
  
• Be aware of the types of problem that divers may encounter
  
• Know that oxygen administration is a first-aid tool for divers
  
• Know that recompression treatment should be sought following any abnormalities present after a dive
  
• Know how to effect a rescue
