Learn first aid skills that can help anyone — anywhere
Emergency First Response (EFR) teaches practical first aid and CPR skills for real-life situations — whether you’re a diver or not.
This hands-on course helps you stay calm, assess emergencies and provide effective care until professional medical help arrives.
EFR is also the required first step before continuing to the PADI Rescue Diver course.
