prerequisites, such as PADI Rescue Diver, or as preparation for becoming a
PADI Divemaster. However, most have also found the EFR program to be
important in every day life. They have taken a significant step in emergency
preparedness, and feel confident that they can provide care should an
emergency situation arise.
