New PADI Public Safety Diver Program

Public Safety Diver Specialty Course - COMING SOON

PADI Americas, in conjunction with PADI Members active and experienced in the public safety diving field, are putting the finishing touches on a new Public Safety Diving Specialty program.

The program uses proven field techniques and both meets and addresses important National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines found in NFPA 1006 and 1670.

Pre-requisites for Instructors and Student Divers
The PADI Public Safety Diver program is for PADI Members with a need to train local personnel for rescue, recovery and evidence collection. Only individuals employed in fields such as law enforcement, fire suppression and emergency services are qualified to take or conduct the program. Read the complete list of instructor requirements.

The minimum prerequisite certification for student divers is PADI Rescue Diver. The PADI Search and Recovery Diver course is strongly recommended due to the techniques used extensively in public safety diver training and in the field.

Products
In addition to an Instructor Guide, the program will have CD-ROM Lesson Guides and a series of support forms for PADI Instructors and key checklists for divers in the course and in the field after training.

For more information, read the Surface Interval article announcing Public Safety Diver.

As soon as new products arrive in our warehouse I will post to this website. For now, the Public Safety Diver materials are only available for pre-order - $45 for the complete set.
