How to Earn your EFR Certification
Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. It is because during the course, the way you dive will be changed, in the best possible way. You will learn to identify and prevent problems in the water, become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed.
During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem-solving skills until they become second nature. Even though the course is serious, it still allows lots of fun along the way.
Emergency First Response primary and secondary care training teaches you what to do in the critical moments between when a life-threatening emergency occurs and when emergency medical services arrive.
Learn how to perform CPR, provide first aid that eases pain, assess a variety of injuries and illnesses and practice bandaging and splinting.
During the water training sessions, you’ll practice handling scenarios such as a leg cramp and assisting a tired diver by role-playing with other students and your instructor.
