Emergency First Response (EFR)
Offered by Ko Lanta Diving Center
Koh Lanta, Krabi Province
Course Description
The Emergency First Response course at Ko Lanta Diving Center runs as a half-day programme covering primary and secondary care — CPR, first aid, and emergency response basics. It is a standalone certification but also the prerequisite for the PADI Rescue Diver course.
At THB 5,590, it is the most compact and lowest-cost certification option at the centre. The half-day format means it can be done on a non-diving day or as a lead-in to starting the Rescue programme the following morning.
EFR is not dive-specific — the skills apply in any emergency situation on land or at sea. For divers who want to round out their safety knowledge alongside a Rescue rating, completing EFR at Ko Lanta before moving into the four-day Rescue course is the straightforward sequence.
The centre operates both programmes and can advise on sequencing if you are planning to complete both during a stay.
