Meals and drinking water are provided on dive days. Accommodation and personal dive insurance are separate.
Before you start
Send your diving qualification and first aid history so the team can check entry requirements and plan your training.
How Rescue Diver and Emergency First Response fit together
A diving incident may involve an underwater problem, a surface problem and care after someone leaves the water. Rescue training and Emergency First Response address different parts of that picture. The combined course helps you connect awareness and assistance during a dive with a structured approach to first aid taught in a separate training setting.
Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care covers CPR and first-aid learning. The Rescue course then develops diving-specific awareness and response through supervised exercises and scenarios. The order and timetable are arranged so the required first-aid preparation supports your Rescue training; the two certificates are not interchangeable.
This package is useful if you want Rescue training and do not already hold qualifying current first-aid training. If you have a recent certificate from another provider, send its details so the instructor can check it. We will help you choose the appropriate route rather than assume every student needs the same package.
What to expect from practical scenario training
Scenarios give you a reason to practise observation, communication and coordination together. You may be asked to identify developing stress, support a buddy or help organise a simulated response. Your instructor explains the exercise, supervises the activity and discusses what worked and what needs improving. Repetition helps turn an unfamiliar task into a more considered action.
Plan for an active learning experience rather than a normal sightseeing dive day. Bring your certification information, study arrangements and first-aid history, and ask about the schedule before booking travel around it. Medical and participation requirements still apply even if you have extensive diving experience.
The combined Rescue + EFR price is THB 19,550. Accommodation is booked separately, so you can stay longer than the training programme or use another hotel. The online diving deposit is credited against your selected course price; it is not the full course fee.
