The EFR course meets the CPR and first aid training requirements for the PADI Rescue Diver course and all professional-level ratings. Most PADI Instructors are also Emergency First Response Instructors.

Emergency First Response training focuses on building confidence in lay rescuers and increasing their willingness to respond when faced with a medical emergency. Course participants learn simple to follow steps for emergency care and practice applying skills in a non stressful learning environment. The course is supported by self-study manuals, videos and quick reference cards to enhance learning and allow you start learning right away.

Please check with us about the gear you’ll use during this course and get advice about everything you need from your PADI Instructor.

Primary Care (CPR) – This course teaches you the steps and techniques for handling life-threatening emergencies.
Secondary Care (First Aid) – Because many medical conditions are not life-threatening and emergency medical services are sometimes delayed or unavailable, this course teaches you how to provide first aid that eases pain and reduces the risk of further harm. You’ll learn to assess a variety of injuries and illnesses and practice bandaging and splinting.
Care for Children – This course allows participants to learn, practice and apply emergency care skills specific to helping infants and children with medical emergencies.
CPR & AED – This course focuses on CPR training and teaching participants how to use an AED (automated external defibrillator).
EFR Refresher – It’s a good idea to refresh your CPR and first aid skills every 24 months, and that’s what the EFR Refresher course is designed to do.
