The PADI Emergency First Response course teaches divers and non-divers alike the skills necessary to respond to medical emergencies and provide essential first aid in different circumstances. The course covers several critical topics such as CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation), AED use (Automated external defibrillator), Basic Life Support (BLS), First Aid, and Oxygen Administration for both diving and non-diving incidents.
The program is divided into two parts, an eLearning section that can be done online at your convenience, and a practical session. The Emergency First Response eLearning covers the theoretical aspects, and the practical session includes hands-on training with an instructor.
Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll receive a certification that will help you respond confidently and effectively in case of medical emergencies.
Overall, the EFR course is an essential program for anyone who wants to learn critical, life-saving skills, and it provides valuable knowledge and practical abilities that can benefit both divers and non-divers alike.
