August 2020 Club Meeting
Public safety divers work with local authorities, are an essential part of water rescue teams, conduct search and recovery dives, and maybe even underwater crime scene investigations. In addition to basic scuba training, public safety diving requires specialized training for hazard assessments, search procedures, diving in low visibility, and equipment like dry suits and full face masks.
Join us as John Lye talks about public safety diving and the role local divers play in the Lake Monticello Water Rescue Team.
We will once again be meeting in the virtual world. To join, all you need is a computer or mobile phone.
