Minnesota is known of as the Land of 10,000 lakes for a reason. Almost everywhere you go in Minnesota we have a lake or river for to enjoy. Unfortunately necessity has dictated that public servants in the form of Public Safety Divers be called on to provide aid on many of these bodies of water. To meet this demand Minnesota has formed many Public Safety Diving teams through local Fire Rescue and Law Enforcement departments/agencies.
This board is intended to provide a place for Public Safety Divers to discuss public safety diving procedures, gear, and training. Training and procedures are different from team to team and this presents an opportunity to learn from each other to improve our safety and effectiveness. The board is also a good place for anyone to learn about and discuss PSD opportunities.
As public servants (paid or volunteer) we are bound by our duty to the public. For many reasons Public Safety Divers cannot discuss any active recovery/rescue effort and/or case under investigation. Please donât ask.
In the next few weeks I will ask a few seasoned Public Safety Divers to post some background information on Public Safety Diving and hopefully get things started.
Dive Safe,
