PADI EFR is based on internationally recognised emergency-care guidelines, uses eLearning, and satisfies the first-aid prerequisite for Rescue and pro courses.

Where you'll dive in Havelock Island

Emergency First Response is conducted on land at the dive centre rather than in the water, so it fits easily around your Havelock dive schedule. It pairs naturally with the in-water rescue training the Andaman Sea sites are used for. No diving experience is required to take it.
