The course takes one full day and it focusses on building confidence and increases willingness to respond when faced with a medical emergency without becoming a medical emergency yourself.

If you are only going to do the EFR course this fee is not applicable since you won’t be diving during this course.

Many emergency first response (EFR) courses meet the CPR and first aid training requirements for diving courses. If you have completed an EFR course in your home country in the last two years, you probably won’t have to do it again.

If you feel your knowledge is rusty even though your certificate is still valid, we do recommend a refresher.

What’s the difference between PADI and SSI?        

The two major training agencies in the world are PADI and SS (and CMAS if you are looking at diving from a French or German perspective). But is there a big difference or is one better than the other?

Instructors of all agencies will teach you how to be a skilled diver, as there is a certain skill set that every diver needs to have. Therefore, all diving agencies follow a legal framework laid down by the World Recreational Scuba Diving Council. The training agencies also accept each other; hence you could do one course with the one and other courses with another agency.
