Emergency First Response
Emergencies can strike at any time. Learn critical skills that can help save lives.
Emergency First Response · Half Moon Bay, West End, Roatan
Emergencies don't wait. You shouldn't either.
The skills in this course extend the window for a victim's survival before professional help arrives. CPR, first aid, AED use, managing bleeding and shock. They work whether you're on a dive boat, a hiking trail, or at home.
Nearly 70% of life-threatening emergencies happen with family or close friends nearby. This course teaches you what to do in those first critical minutes. Every diver should have it current. Honestly, so should anyone who spends time outdoors or near water.
EFR certification is also a PADI requirement for the Rescue Diver course. If your certification has lapsed, we run EFR concurrently with Rescue Diver as a one-day add-on.
