Whether you need it for your PADI Rescue Diver course or simply want to feel more confident in an emergency, the Emergency First Response (EFR) course teaches you how to provide care in both life-threatening and non-life-threatening situations. Training is hands-on, easy to follow, and takes place in a calm, supportive environment. It meets all CPR and first aid requirements for the Rescue Diver course and all professional PADI levels.
The EFR course is split into modules that can be completed in one day or spread out depending on your schedule. Primary Care (CPR) focuses on how to help in life-threatening emergencies. You’ll learn to respond to unconscious patients, provide CPR, and manage potential spinal injuries or severe bleeding.
Secondary Care (First Aid) covers how to respond when emergency services are delayed or unavailable. You’ll be shown how to evaluate injuries, perform basic wound care, splint limbs, and reduce the risk of further harm. Optional modules—such as Care for Children, CPR & AED, and First Aid at Work—are available depending on your interest or workplace needs.
Training is held near Cala Barca urbanisation in Sa Barca Trencada, Mallorca. Sessions are delivered in a classroom-style environment equipped with all necessary first aid materials, CPR manikins, and AED training units.
With calm surroundings and experienced instructors, it’s an ideal setting for learning potentially life-saving skills in a way that feels comfortable and supportive.
The course is open to anyone aged 10 or older. No diving certification or medical background is required.
It is especially recommended for divers planning to complete their PADI Rescue Diver training, but it’s also valuable for anyone who wants to learn basic first aid for everyday life, work, or travel.
The course is taught by experienced, certified Emergency First Response instructors who make complex skills easy to understand and practise. You’ll learn through demonstrations, guided practice, and realistic scenarios designed to help you act confidently in an emergency.
EFR training provides essential skills that apply in both diving and everyday situations. Whether you’re preparing for Rescue Diver or want to feel more ready to help others, this course gives you clear, practical knowledge that stays with you long after the session ends.
