This course can be taken at any time in your training cycle and will equip you to deal with emergency situations that you may come across at any time during your life. Whilst this course includes certain dive-specific training, most of what you will learn is of general use.

The skills taught in this course will enable you to assist in the first aid of an accident victim and manage the scene until professional medical assistance arrives. With the Emergency First Response course you will gain vital skills, building your confidence and your ability to help others in distress.

The course is designed to ensure that your time is maximised in practical application of the techniques you will learn.

The course takes a full day in the classroom and the course fee includes a deluxe First Response manual and recognition emblem for you to take away, complete with a basic first aid kit.

The basic course can be supplemented by additional training in the use of Automatic External Defibrillators (AED), which have now become common fixtures in most public places.
