Here at 3D Diving we strongly believe that everyone, not just divers should have a basic understanding of First Aid and an ability to cope in the event of an emergency.

The Emergency First Response program covers basic training for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency care. It's a medically based program covering the priorities and principles of first aid. You will learn the same priorities of care and approach to patients as used by a Medical professional.

The program is designed for divers and non-divers, and also meets the CPR and first aid prerequisite for The Rescue Diver Course.

The course focuses on real life skills, which are practiced on mannequins as well as real people. These practices allow each student to become comfortable performing skills that may one day be needed during a real emergency.
