PUBLIC SAFETY

A Note on Public Safety Diving

Public Safety Diving is sometimes referred to as badged diving because its operations are often the responsibility of law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and professional security teams.

Differs from
recreational and
technical diving

Public safety diving differs from recreational and technical diving in many ways although individuals from both branches of sport diving can function as volunteer personnel on PSD teams. One major and obvious difference is the type of work done underwater and the dive goals. Typically, public safety dive operations include search, rescue, and recovery; evidence recovery, and site assessment and recording data for use in court proceedings.

Another difference is that while sport divers have the luxury of planning when and where they dive, PSD are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. PSD also have little or no control over the environmental conditions in which dives are conducted, so conducting operations in zero visibility, biohazards, and generally adverse conditions are common considerations.

Why RAID Developed This Program

RAID has ventured into the PSD market at this point to complete a promise made to several of our members who requested a “RAID style” program to help them develop and train competent divers (volunteer and badged professionals) for the special responsibilities that come with the role.
