EFR For Rescue Diver?

[Dan Bower]

hi guys

just been asked by a friend what level of EFR training out of the 3 do you need for the rescue diver certification?

assuming you're talking PADI, you can either take their EFR course, or if you have current Red Cross First Aid/CPR or equivalent that should suffice. DAN also offers comparable courses that will check off the box for Rescue Diver

that depends how its taught. if the student reads the book and watches the video self study it should only take 1 night
