Public Safety Diving Training

Public Safety Divers are trained to provide critical services to the public, including search and
rescue/recovery procedures, often in adverse conditions to include zero visibility. A Public Safety
Diver is often involved in search, rescue, and recovery missions of water accident victims, assists
law enforcement with investigations, and is often employed by local or national emergency
services.

The SSI Public Safety Diving programs, including the SSI Public Safety Diver and the SSI Rescue
Team Diver, are a new and comprehensive approach to Public Safety Diver training.

These programs utilize SSI’s industry-leading digital learning and education platform to create safe
and highly skilled Public Safety Divers. Becoming a Public Safety Diver is vital for involvement in
any Public Safety professional team. You will learn key skills on how to offer assistance to
emergency services or work as a public safety diver.

What to expect from SSI’s Public Safety Diving programs

To be a Public Safety Diver you must �rst have excellent diving skills, especially low visibility diving.
Diving in low visibility conditions requires con�dence in self, team, and equipment, especially
when there are hazards present.

To become the ultimate Public Safety Diver, embark on SSI’s two specialized diving programs. The
Public Safety Diver certi�cation covers essential skills and open water dives, while the SSI Rescue
Team Diver program offers advanced training in response techniques for in-water incidents. Both
programs equip divers to serve as key members of public safety dive teams, ensuring effective
response and rescue capabilities.
