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.
