Emergency First Response (EFR) is the fastest-growing international CPR, Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) and First Aid training organization. Dedicated to training the lay rescuer, EFR courses encompasses adult, child and infant CPR skills, provides AED and First Aid training, and feature an outstanding First Aid at Work component. The company’s award-winning programs and state-of-the-art training materials make it a favorite among divers around the world. Many divers take the Emergency First Response courses to meet program prerequisites, such as PADI Rescue Diver, or as preparation for becoming a PADI Divemaster. However, most have also found the EFR program to be important in every day life. They have taken a significant step in emergency preparedness, and feel confident that they can provide care should an emergency situation arise.

The Emergency First Response program meets requirements for CPR and First Aid in the workplace (OSHA Guideline 29 CFR 1910.151), and incorporates the latest procedures for emergency patient care. Other organizations that recognize EFR as meeting their requirements are United States Coast Guard, The Boy Scouts of America, and the American Council on Exercise (ACE), to name a few.

• No dive certification required
• No minimum age limit

The PADI DiveMaster is a logical next step if you like working with people. Not only will your diving skills be enhanced but also your knowledge and Rescue skills – building on what you have learnt on the Rescue diver and EFR courses.
Working with new and not so new divers can be a rewarding experience in itself but will also create the opportunity to dive a lot more and cost effective.

Don’t like people? Totally antisocial and morbid? Just hate crowds? Don’t do DM…rather choose a PADI specialty that will enhance your current skills - Choose any of the other specialty courses available – something that you enjoy , photography, underwater Naturalist or just the thrill of a wreck or the knowledge of Nitrox – and ignore people !
