The EFR (Emergency First Response) course is your first step toward safety, whether you are a diver or not. In just one day, you will learn first aid and CPR techniques to respond to emergency situations. This certification is required for the Rescue Diver and Divemaster levels, but it is also a valuable life skill for everyday situations.
