The Rescue diver qualification and EFR is the next step up the PADI qualification ladder. If comes after you have completed your Padi Open Water and Advanced Open Water.
The Rescue course is fairly expensive, so you should weigh up the benefit of the course before you decide, but completely worth it if you are going to pursue diving as a hobby.
The rescue course greatly expands on safety concerning diving and also teaches you how to rescue other and yourself in various different situations. The Rescue course is also a pre requisite to doing your Divemaster course.
If you are just trying out diving for now, or just likely to dive on the occasional holiday accompanied by skilled divemasters or instructors then it may not be for you. That said, you can never be too careful and it is a genuinely good qualification to have if you will be spending alot of time in the water.
EFR (emergency first response) is also taught, which is handy in and out of the water (I have used my EFR skills 2 times since gaining the qualification 4 years ago, one of these times it actually saved someones life, so if you ask me was it worth it: without a doubt).
Emergency first response is the same a “First Aid” – EFR being an America colloquialism (P.A.D.I.) is an america organisation.
