Emergency First Response - S$180

Emergency First Response (EFR) is a very innovative first aid program with broad training about primary (Basic Life Support) and secondary care.

Why should you participate in Emergency First Response?
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 into preparation for emergencies, and feel confident that they can provide care should an emergency situation arise.

What will I do?
The course incorporates independent study to prepare you for a classroom and hands-on skill development sessions with one of Blue Reef Scuba specially trained instructors. You will learn the same patient care techniques used by medical professionals, but at a lower level.

What do I need?
All you need is a manual which you can obtain from Blue Reef Scuba or your local PADI dive store if you prefer to prepare yourself at home to save valuable vacation time.

Course contents
The course includes training in primary and secondary care which can be taken as one combined course (this meets the prerequisites to enroll into the Rescue Diver course) or as two individual programs.

  • Primary care focuses on basic life support and includes eight mandatory skills plus three optional skills.
  • Secondary care builds on primary care and focuses on important skills if EMS is delayed or unavailable.

Both courses are video supported and include a combination of knowledge development and skill practices. Various rescue scenarios will ensure that you understand all course topics and that you are able to apply your knowledge.
