Learn the skills to act in an emergency with the PADI Emergency First Response course in Pondicherry, a perfect companion to dive training before tackling the Rescue Diver course. CPR and first-aid training prepares you for incidents both on Pondicherry's dive boats and in everyday life.
PADI's Emergency First Response follows international CPR and first-aid guidelines, uses EFR participant materials and certifies for 24 months, satisfying the first-aid prerequisite for Rescue Diver.
EFR is a classroom-and-practical course run at the dive base in Pondicherry rather than in the water, though it directly supports diving on the Bay of Bengal by preparing you for surface and boat emergencies. It is a prerequisite for Rescue Diver.
