TRAINING FOR THE
REAL
WORLD
21st
century emergencies require a cutting edge response
ERDi provides the edge needed to respond and
operate in a liquid environment.
The threat has changed, shouldn't your
training?
|
1.877.SCUBA.USA offers public safety training that simulates actual situations
to give the ERDi candidate a clear understanding of how it happens in
the real world.
Emergency response dives are executed using equipment from the back of a
truck with very short notice. These factors dramatically reduce
the potential support structure. That's not to say the Emergency
Response Diver is a better, or more enduring diver. We just need
to be clear that dive and land based training should match the
requirements of the job…
Alone and attached to a tether, the Emergency
Response Diver must be comfortable diving in zero visibility
conditions constantly avoiding or dealing with entanglements while
searching for a specific object. The Emergency Response Diver
must be able to search, locate, document and recover objects as the
dive mission dictates.
