Items for Diving Emergency Kit

[Rick Murchison]

Bear in mind that most deaths on dive boats (or around any diving activity) have nothing to do with diving - they're from heart attacks... so an AED is nice if you can have one available.
In addition to the stuff already mentioned -
Plenty of oxygen
Enough bandage material to construct a large pressure bandage
EpiPens
I like to try to book at least two ER/EMT folks on the trip
A doc is nice to cover the legal aspects of carrying EpiPens (and morphine, for that matter).

DAN has O2 kits ... http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/eseries/source/orders/index.cfm?task=1&CATEGORY=O2%2DKITS&DESCRIPTION=Oxygen%20First%20Aid%20Kits&CFTOKEN=32502913&continue=1&SEARCH_TYPE=find

some are very small like the $450 Rescue Pak ... http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/images/products/large/601-4000.jpg

I fairly new to diving - I've only been certified since June... This may be a bad question, but what about carrying a pony bottle onboard with O2?
