Overview

Learn skills that can make a real difference when somebody needs help.

The Emergency First Response (EFR) Primary & Secondary Care Course in Taganga teaches practical CPR and First Aid skills for medical emergencies — both diving and non-diving related.

You do not need to be a scuba diver to participate.

The course combines flexible digital learning with practical, instructor-led scenarios where you learn how to assess an emergency, provide CPR, assist an injured or ill person and respond calmly until professional medical help becomes available.

For scuba divers, current CPR and First Aid training is also required before completing the PADI Rescue Diver certification and later professional PADI training.

For everyone else, it is simply an extremely useful set of skills to have.
