FAQ — Emergency First Response in Komodo
What is the Emergency First Response course?
Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care is an instructor-led CPR and first-aid course. It teaches a structured response to life-threatening emergencies, injuries and illnesses through knowledge development, hands-on skills and scenarios.
Do I need to be a diver to take EFR?
No. EFR is open to divers and non-divers. It is a dry practical course with no pool or ocean training and is useful for travel, work, family life, boating and outdoor activities.
Is EFR required for PADI Rescue Diver?
PADI Rescue Diver certification requires EFR Primary and Secondary Care, or qualifying CPR and first-aid training, completed within the previous 24 months. Online-only training without hands-on practice does not meet this prerequisite.
What skills will I practise during EFR?
You will practise scene and primary assessment, CPR, rescue breathing with barriers, serious-bleeding and shock management, spinal-injury considerations, illness and injury assessment, bandaging, splinting and scenario-based decision-making.
Does the course include AED or Care for Children training?
Not automatically. AED, Care for Children, emergency oxygen and other specialised modules are separate unless they are explicitly included in your confirmed booking. Ask the team if you want to add one.
How long does the EFR course take?
The timetable depends on the selected learning format, group size and participant progress. Dragon Dive confirms the current schedule when you choose your dates; all required hands-on skills and scenarios must be completed.
How long does EFR meet the Rescue prerequisite?
For PADI Rescue Diver, Divemaster and Instructor prerequisites, the qualifying CPR and first-aid training must have been completed within the previous 24 months. Regular skill refreshers are recommended because emergency-care skills fade without practice.
How do I find the current EFR price?
