We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
You'll learn primary and secondary care skills on the PADI Emergency First Response course at our Cabo de Palos base, with practical CPR, AED familiarisation, and first aid suited to divers preparing Rescue and to anyone wanting confident everyday response skills.
CPR and AED practice on mannequins alternates with first aid for common injuries, illness recognition, and bandaging scenarios led by instructors who teach diving courses daily and link skills to realistic dive boat and beach situations.
Skills sessions use role play and repeated cycles so muscle memory builds before you apply knowledge toward Rescue Diver or workplace confidence. Expect to kneel, practise rescue breathing, and work with partners on splints and scene safety assessments throughout the day.
Classroom blocks run at our centre on Paseo Dimas Ortega 18 with space for floor work and mannequin stations away from harbour wind, so you can focus on compressions and bandaging without rushing between venues.
Response scenarios may move outdoors for realism while staying on site at Cabo de Palos, then return indoors for knowledge reviews and instructor sign-off when skills meet current EFR standards.
None required. Suitable for divers preparing Rescue, boat crews, parents, and anyone wanting practical first aid skills without prior certification.
Willingness to practise on mannequins and partners is the main expectation for the day. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, and tell us if you need seated alternatives for any skill so we adapt while keeping standards intact.
Hands-on delivery keeps the day active rather than lecture-heavy, with instructors who see Murcia diving incidents in training context and explain why each skill matters at sea and ashore.
Workplace-ready credentials support your Rescue path and everyday life beyond the water, and many students schedule EFR immediately before Rescue weeks at our harbour centre for one coherent trip plan.
You practise assessing scenes, contacting emergency services and delivering CPR and AED steps on training manikins. Practice repeats until compressions and rescue breathing feel coordinated.
Your instructor emphasises calling for help early and staying safe yourself.
Secondary care covers injury and illness assessment, bandaging and splinting techniques for common situations. Role play helps you communicate with patients calmly.
Scenarios build on primary care decisions from earlier in the day.
Final scenarios combine primary and secondary steps so you demonstrate a complete response sequence. Successful completion leads to EFR certification processing.
You leave with practical skills usable far beyond diving.
Emergency First Response is typically a full classroom and practical day at the harbour base.
Care for Children or CPR refresher modules may add time if you book them alongside. We still keep the day in one place so you practise more than you sit between mannequin stations. Stations stay at the harbour base so you practise more than you sit.
EFR credentials have a recommended refresh window, and many divers renew before Rescue or professional courses.
Refresher sessions are shorter than the full course when your skills are still recent. We can advise timing if you are heading into Rescue week straight after this day. Stations stay at the harbour base so you practise more than you sit.
Yes. CPR cycles, AED prompts, and rescue-breathing practice use mannequins and partner drills through the day.
Wear clothes you can kneel and move in, and tell us if you need seated alternatives for any skill. Instructors who teach diving daily tie each drill to boat and beach situations you may meet in Murcia. Stations stay at the harbour base so you practise more than you sit.
None required. Divers preparing Rescue, boat crews, parents, and anyone wanting practical response skills can join.
Willingness to practise on mannequins and partners is the main ask. We adapt stations while keeping current EFR standards intact. Stations stay at the harbour base so you practise more than you sit. Cabo de Palos harbour briefings keep the plan clear before you start.
No. This day covers primary and secondary care on land, which Rescue then builds on in the water.
Many students schedule EFR immediately before Rescue weeks for one coherent trip plan. You leave with first aid and CPR skills useful at sea and ashore, not the full in-water rescue scenarios. Stations stay at the harbour base so you practise more than you sit.
Floor space at Paseo Dimas Ortega 18 holds mannequin stations away from harbour wind.
Some response scenarios move outdoors for realism, then return inside for knowledge reviews and sign-off. You are not travelling between venues all day, which keeps practice time high. Stations stay at the harbour base so you practise more than you sit.
Wear comfortable clothes you can kneel, roll, and practise rescue breathing in for several hours.
Layers help if we step outside for a scene assessment, and closed shoes are easier than flip-flops on the classroom floor. Bring water, and leave jewellery that gets in the way of compressions at the hotel. Stations stay at the harbour base so you practise more than you sit.
Yes. Parents, boat crews, and anyone wanting confident everyday response skills can join without a scuba card.
The skills are the same PADI EFR standards divers use before Rescue. We still explain why each drill matters at a harbour, beach, or home setting. Stations stay at the harbour base so you practise more than you sit. Cabo de Palos harbour briefings keep the plan clear before you start.
Yes. Pad placement, prompts, and safe use sit beside CPR cycles on the mannequins.
You practise until the sequence feels familiar, not just watched on a slide. Instructors link AED use to realistic dive-boat and beach scenes rather than leaving it as a classroom extra. Stations stay at the harbour base so you practise more than you sit.
Meet at Paseo Dimas Ortega 18 for the full classroom and practical day.
Arrive ready to start on the floor stations so the first CPR block is not delayed. Parking and cafés sit close to the harbour if you want a short break at lunch. Stations stay at the harbour base so you practise more than you sit.
About the centre
Cabo de Palos
You'll dive on one of the most celebrated stretches of the Spanish Mediterranean, where the Cabo de Palos headland meets clear open water and protected seagrass meadows. Our team runs relaxed guided days, PADI training, and refresher sessions from a harbour-side base, with small groups and patient coaching whether you're blowing bubbles for the first time or logging another fun dive.
From shore entries and daily boat dives to specialty courses and seasonal dive trips, we keep the day well organised so you spend more time underwater. Equipment hire, briefings, and local site knowledge are part of how we work, and we're happy to help you plan the right experience for your certification level and the conditions on the day.
Operated by Mangamar Dive Center, a partner of adventuro.
