The Emergency First Aid Response (EFR) course is a must-have skill set for anyone who dives regularly. This practical and highly engaging course prepares you to respond calmly and effectively to real-life emergency situations—both on the surface and underwater.
Through realistic role-playing scenarios, you’ll practice handling conscious, unconscious, and panicked divers, along with a wide range of simulated diving accidents. While the subject matter is serious, the interactive and hands-on nature of the course makes it one of the most enjoyable and rewarding training experiences in scuba diving.
Why Take the EFR / Rescue Training?
Scuba diving is an adventure sport, and with adventure comes responsibility—not just for yourself, but also for your dive buddies, friends, and family. The skills learned in this course help you prevent problems before they happen and manage emergencies effectively if they do occur.
Many divers consider rescue-level and first aid training to be among their most valuable and memorable learning experiences. This course builds confidence, awareness, and leadership—making you a safer, more reliable diver in any situation.
