Highly recommended for divers and non-divers alike, the Emergency First Response (EFR) Course is a basic life-saving course that every single person should be trained on for their personal safety and their loved ones. The Primary and Secondary Care training teaches you what to do in the critical moments when an emergency occurs until medical services arrive. Learn how to perform CPR, provide first aid that stabilizes your patient and eases pain, assess a variety of injuries and illnesses, practice bandaging and splinting, provide medical oxygen, apply an AED Defibrillator, and more.

INDIVIDUAL TRAINING

This option gives you the control to determine the specific dates to conduct the aquatic sessions; always considering the weather and staff availability. It is the preferred mode because of the small group logistics allowing more individual quality training with a maximum of 5 participants. The full required training can be done in either two (2) or three (3) days, typically running from 8am until 2pm. Our recommendation is the 3-day program to separate the confined water from the open water sessions, which can be done in our heated pool in Guaynabo. However, the 2-day program is typically the most popular among our clients for scheduling logistics. Your flexibility is gratefully appreciated in order to coordinate accordingly.

Private training

This is a unique service that we are happy to offer for exclusive private training. This allows our customers to receive a higher level of training and personalized attention scheduling the aquatic sessions at their best convenience.  For private training, the rate is simply double of the Individual Training mode and no other participants may join the group aside from your party.

This option may be required to complete the training if no other participant signs up for your specific date, or reschedule at a more convenient time. Your flexibility is gratefully appreciated in order to coordinate accordingly.
