Hi all,
I've had my advanced OW for about 2 years now and have logged so far about 35 dives. I'm thinking about becoming a rescue diver but the PADI website says that I would need an EFR first. It seems to me that it is only a first aid course, something that I could acquire for much less money at St. John or Red Cross. Is this the case? If so, which courses should I take at St. John/Red Cross? Or does anyone out there have any other insights as to becoming a rescue diver.
Cheers.
