Prerequisites
Though designed for divers, this course has no prerequisites and doesn’t include dives, which means it is accessible to non-divers who may find themselves around divers, including boat crew, friends and family, lifeguards, and shore staff. Previous CPR or first aid training is not required to take this course.
Your Next Adventure
The Emergency First Response certification, which covers CPR and first aid, pairs perfectly with the Emergency Oxygen Provider course. You’ll also want to be sure to complete your Rescue Diver course and Master Scuba Diver to be the best prepared dive buddy around.
