First aid accident and emergency

- When divers’ oxygen runs out, the diving instructor shares oxygen directly from
an alternate air source with no direct contact before going to the surface of water

immediately without any physical contact.
- Performing artificial respiration while in water is not recommended. Bring patients
out from the water as soon as possible.
- If patients are unconscious, contact nearby hospitals or emergency services and
inform the officers that patients are Sealed Route tourists for them to be prepared
with PPE and rescue equipment.
- Observe the patients and perform first aid as instructed by public health. (See more

details attached)
- If artificial respiration must be performed, use a viral filter.
