PADI Emergency First Response

Be ready to help!

Learn to save lives! The skills you will learn during this accredited and recognized first-aid course can be used every day, not just while diving and the course is open to divers and non-divers alike.

You’re walking down the street as someone gets knocked over by a speeding bike courier, you’re shopping at the supermarket and the person behind you at the checkout has a heart attack, you’re having dinner at your favourite restaurant and a guest at the next table starts choking; in each of these scenarios you can play a vital role in saving a life, all it takes is the first step!

You will learn the basic skills required to sustain life in an emergency situation including rescue breathing, CPR, dealing with spinal injuries and bleeding. The course takes one day and is a prerequisite for the PADI Rescue Diver course.
