Emergency First Response First Aid AED - Orpheus Dive Center - PADI 5 Star Scuba Diving Centre | Singapore | Malaysia | Asia

Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid) are medically based, following the same priorities of care used by professional emergency care providers. Both courses assume a local Emergency Medical Service (EMS) is in place to support Emergency Responder care. However, the Emergency First Response Secondary Care (First Aid) course assumes that local Emergency Medical Service personnel are unavailable or delayed.

Specific to learning philosophy, both courses establish skill retention through increased skill practice and repetition. Knowledge retention is gained through course content simplification and independent study. The course is taught in a low- stress educational environment which is the key to the course philosophy.

About Emergency First Response

Emergency First Response is the fastest-growing international CPR, AED and first aid training organization. With more than 26,000 instructors worldwide, Emergency First Response is backed by 36 years of experience in the development and delivery of instructional courses, training materials and educational curricula. Emergency First Response courses have gained widespread international acceptance.

Emergency First Response's course curricula are based on patient care standards as published in the American Heart Association Guidelines 2000 Standards for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, and the consensus view of the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). ILCOR is an international standards group representing most of the world's major resuscitation organizations.

Focused on training the lay rescuer, the Emergency First Response approach to training builds confidence in lay rescuers and increases their willingness to respond when faced with a medical emergency by teaching them the skills they need in a non-stressful learning environment. Participants are also given as much practice as necessary to master and retain these skills.

Pre-requisite

There is no pre-requisite required. This is a non diving program.

	Knowledge Development Session
	Video Guided Approach (Conducted over 1.5 hours in the evening) – Using this approach, each participant is provided with an Emergency First Response Participant Manual and Video at the start of the course. During class, you will watch a short overview of important background and fundamentals by leading participants through their Emergency First Response Participant Manual. As you cover the material, participants will complete their Knowledge Review.

	Skills Development Session
	After the Knowledge Development Session, another 1.5 hours will be spent on practical skills development. Skill development is a critical part of the Emergency First Response program. Participants first learn the basic steps and subskills, then practice the skills under peer and instructor guidance. Repeated practice under controlled conditions allows participants to fine-tune performance, gain competence and build for retention.

There are about 18 PADI Dive Centres in Singapore and only a handful of them has the rating of a PADI 5 Star IDC - one of the highest rating given to a dive centre.

Read more about PADI Dive Centre Rating here.

Short of telling you why we are good, we will tell you what it takes to become a proper PADI 5 Star IDC Centre. Even though there are some PADI 5 Star Facilities which only meets minimal requirements, Orpheus Dive has far superceded the minimal requirements, ensuring that our divers have a one stop dive centre and dive club.

Checklist for a PADI 5 Star Dive Facility

	Equipment Retail
	As a PADI 5 Star Dive Facility, a dive centre must provide in-house retail. Orpheus Dive has a well stocked inventory store covering major brands such as Scubapro, Zeagle, TUSA, Seac Sub, Beauchat, Trident, XS Scuba, Underwater Kinetics and Problue. In Singapore, there ARE ONLY TWO dive centres that are into full retail business. Note to diver : There are dive centres that makes clams that they do have a retail business. However, they only have an online retail arm that purchase stocks when a customer makes an order. Unlike us, our well stocked store has everything that a diver needs. And because of the volume purchase, we are able to offer lower prices compared to the rest of the dive centres. See our Absolute Campaign for more information

	Equipment Servicing
	Orpheus Dive Singapore is an Authorized Service Centre for Scubapro, Apollo, Zeagle and Seac Sub. We have a fulltime service technician that is solely in charge of helping divers service their equipment and handling their annual servicing needs.

	Equipment Rental
	Orpheus Dive services and manages their own rental gear, unlike many independent dive centres and instructors who are dependent on others for their rental needs. All rental gears are serviced on a quarterly basis to ensure that they are kept in prime conditions. For more information on rental gears

	Dive Courses
	We offer all level of courses from programs for kids of 8 years old to Professional courses such as the PADI Instructor Development Program.

	Dive Travel Program
