The Emergency First Response course is a one day CPR and First Aid Training certification that focuses on building confidence in lay rescuers and increasing their willingness to respond when faced with a medical emergency.  The EFR course, or equivalent valid First Aid certificate, is needed in order to enrol in the PADI Rescue Diver course.

Anyone who is interested in acquiring or updating CPR and first aid skills is welcome to participate in the Emergency First Response course.  It is often taken in conjunction with the PADI Rescue Diver course (3 days).
