Learn to Save Lives, In and Out of the Water

The Emergency First Response course provides you with the skills needed to handle emergency situations with clarity and readiness. It’s a fundamental course not only for divers who want to continue with Rescue Diver, but also for those who want to be prepared to act in everyday life.
