Emergency First Response Course

The Emergency First Response (EFR) course at The Dive Company is designed to equip you with essential life-saving skills, making you a more confident and capable diver. This specialty certification is a critical component for advancing your PADI training, serving as a mandatory prerequisite for the PADI Rescue Diver course. The program focuses on providing immediate care for medical emergencies, ensuring you can act decisively in critical situations. You will learn to manage everything from minor wounds to more serious incidents, building a strong foundation in emergency response.

This comprehensive program integrates theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on training. Participants will engage in classroom sessions and realistic scenario simulations under the expert guidance of experienced instructors. Key skills covered include Primary Care (CPR), Secondary Care (First Aid), and the proper use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The curriculum emphasizes risk assessment and immediate intervention techniques specifically relevant to diving environments.
