AP diving also have a DIN to Medical 3 pin O2 reg adapter so a stage of O2 is fine but need to carry the adapter and an appropriate regulator and mask for an unconscious casualty. My club use a MARINOX kit which is in a watertight tubular case… good for RIB diving
Another option for non-professionals tech divers is the Rescue EAN. It hooks up to a LPI, and connectors directly to the tubing but unfortunately it only works with non-demand masks. So I think the adapters that allow you to use standard medox regs is a better choice.
Always thankful for your usefull contents. I just finished my stress&rescue course and the instructor offered to sell some of his used equipment. After watching your video I am seriously considering to buy it.
Danke Achim... Endlich sagts mal einer. An meinem "Hausgewässer" bin ich regelmäßig - sofern keine Tauchschulen da sind - der einzige, der was dabei hat. Zeit dass sich das ändert.
Thanks, once more, for your videos. In our case we have it, and bigger than yours. Living in an island with the hyperbaric chamber at a bit more than one hour from the furthest dive spots, we use a 10 liter tank for 2 divers. Always usign 15 l/min, to be sure that the divers gets 100% oxygen (there is a recommendation from DAN somewhere).
Another reason: I had to try to breathe from a 100% O2 regulator (demand valve) for an hour to realise just how annoying it is compared to a non rebreathe mask. Try breathing on a reg outside the water for 5 minutes and you'll see what I mean!
I’ve thought about this for a while. Luckily the shops I dove with locally have a kit at their hut on the small quarry we dive at, and there’s another at the full station. When it comes to my Holliday dives on Bonaire most of the time you’re less than likely p minutes from a dive shop and they all have O2 when shore diving. It’s definitely not something you can easily travel with when flying. For someone like myself that is rarely diving on my own where I’d need a kit would you say in that case using a stage bottle reserved for emergency oxygen not DECO and 3pin adapter and O2 mask and regulator would fulfill the purpose fully?
Very good information/subject. My two cents as EMT: 1) I like the O2 tank size you carry. I'm disappointed of the sizes I have seen on other diving channels as they use too small ones that would be depleted on no time (is like those dive masters have not put their knowledge to calculate O2 consumption at 12 liter/minute commonly used with non re-breading mask) 2) if you are carrying a bag-valve-mask (we call them here Ambu) to give ventilantins you would also carry an emergency aspirator and some canulas.
Sinnvoll wäre natürlich ein Reservoir für den Beatmungsbeutel wenn man eine Höhere O2 Konzentration als 40% erreichen will und eine Absaugpumpe wenn man assistiert/kontrolliert beatmet gerade als Anwender mit wenig Übung/Ausbildung da gerade hier mit erhöhter Aspirationsgefahr zu rechnen ist. LG
Question if I may. I was literally on a dive yesterday and this morning one of my dive partners went to a chamber for DCS. He’s fine now but after the dive he didn’t have any symptoms. He said he started feeling it hours after. Any thoughts on the delay, early detection, etc? I was his dive partner and all of our deco stops were done, moderate conservation, no issues during the dive at all. I’m going to research it further but I was wondering if you’ve encountered latent DCS?
US Navy dive manual states that most DCS manifests from 2-24 hours after the dive. So "latent" is a relative term. I would say, with personal experience to back it up, that most weird feelings would be DCS. Reference Dr. Mitchell of DAN for more scientific details
Great Video 👍 A unit similar to this should be incredibly affordable... I've thrown away many pristine, in date dual output oxygen regulator setups from various different medical/EMS buildings and offices which were moving or being renovated... The ones I kept have a protective shroud (for protecting the regulator stem in case someone knocks over or drops a large O2 cylinder 🤦♂️) Then again that's the US medical system where waste in certain funded institutions is the foundational structure 🙄 It may not apply in other countries, but in the US you could get most of the neccessary components (including sterile tubing and disposable plastic masks) for free just by knowing a few people in the medical field... But if people are too stupid to buy an off the shelf unit instead of a new scooter then I doubt they'd be the type to build their own basic setup, however for someone wanting multiple personal units, or on a very limited budget it's worth considering what capability you could have for the cost of a not so expensive brand new dedicated O2 tank, a sturdy container, and some basic mounting hardware...
You’re right. Not all diving will require emergency o2 though. Technical dives will require it. Deep recreational dives will require it. For someone who regularly dives short shallow dives, it would be a waste of money and resources. No only that but to get pure O2 you would have to either be qualified on rebreathers or have a medical degree here.
It's worth mentioning though that the majority (in absolute numbers) of DCS cases occur in simple recreational diving. According to DAN 95% of divers who got DCS stayed within the limits so got an 'undeserved hit'. Those people would be greatly helped by O2 early on. Of course the investment is harder to justify if you don't spend lots on diving gear compared to tech divers. But at least get into the habit to ask where O2 is available nearby (dive center, boat, resort) so you can get it quickly.
Nothing to add. I would love to have that Box! Very sweet equipment! I like the way you do things! Keep going!

Fabulous advice !
Beautiful O2 equipment :)

Hi, I have question, I have steel firefighting 7l SCBA cylinder, is it possible to get O² valve on it and use that cylinder for first aid ?

I have invested in oxygen kit and an AED
Awesome videos! I have the same drager set. Do you know of an adapter from that oxygen tank to DIN so I can have it filled at my dive shop?

You probably don't realize it but, you have quite the sense of humour! Good episode on O2 btw.
What an outrageous comment about a German!
