EFR Primary and Secondary Care

EFR Primary and Secondary Care is a vital skill in diving. To be a safe and responsible diver you need to be a safe and responsible person in everyday life. Some of us shiver in our wetsuits at the thought of being in an emergency situation, when in fact with the proper training and guidance we can handle these situations through a knowledgeable, responsible and information gathering sequence of actions to control any given challenge.

The Emergency First Response course will teach you the basics skills in dealing and managing with an incident/accident by ensuring the area and environment are safe and free of hazards, and then applying a simple step by step procedure to provide care for a patient in need.
