Why Public Safety Diving?
Unlike recreational divers, we do not choose the weather, water or diving conditions. Therefore, additional training is required of our divers and shore personnel to assure our safety and the legal safety of the agency who deploys us. In addition, response time maybe a life or death situation for the person we have been called to assist. This requires advanced training to respond quickly and safely. When looking for a diving instructor we recommend checking certifications and keeping in mind that the training you recieve could mean the difference between life and death, for you and for the person you might be called to rescue.
