Essentials of Public Safety Diving

Business: Unified Team Diving

The Essentials of Public Safety Diving course is the point of entry for all certified public safety divers and is the prerequisite for all other UTD public safety classes. Essentials of Public Safety Diving gives every diver an opportunity to learn the personal skills needed to participate in a unified team and be in the water as a “thinking diver.”

Precise buoyancy, combined with a horizontal trim position, is the hallmark of control in the water. You’ll learn to effortlessly hold your position in the water, which leads to the next set of skills: propulsion, where you’ll learn five different kicks that eliminate silting and increase your control, allowing you to move both forward and backward. Other skills include proper air sharing procedures, team protocols, gas planning, ascent strategies, and much more.

Essentials of Public Safety Diving is normally conducted over a 3 to 4-day period combining lecture, practical (in-water) sessions and video debriefings,
