If you have the opportunity to work with local authorities and be part of a scuba diving rescue team or conduct search and recovery dives and maybe even underwater criminal investigation dives, this is the course for you. Although Public Safety Diving can be a fun and exciting adventure, it's serious and requires special training. The PADI Public Safety Diver course gives you a solid foundation to build upon and teaches you surface and underwater skills that you may need while on the job. You will be introduced to special procedures, equipment, scene handling, communications, and documentation requirements for a public safety diving operation.
