Public Safety Diver Vs Rescue Diver: What's the difference?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 май 2024
- A question I get all the time! What is a public safety diver? How do you become a public safety diver? Are public safety diver and rescue diver the same thing? James is here to answer these questions!
Public Safety Diving is a professional discipline. Rescue diver is an amateur, recreational course. One thing is not like the other.
Public safety dive teams are typically comprised of fire or police divers, who operate as a specialist unit. Rescue Diver is a recreational training course aimed at making hobbyist divers a little more useful to dive professionals in the event of a recreational dive incident.

Thank you 🙏🏼 Im following ur videos
Thank you. It is hard to explain to people the difference. I've been a PSD for over 23 years now and I get so many people who did their PADI Rescue Diver cert who think they are PSD. For those who are watching this and are thinking about trying to become a PSD, reach out to your local sheriff's department and ask if they a recovery dive team and do they take volunteers. The sheriff's departments that do have a team, they usually have both full-time and volunteers divers. Unfortunately with fire rescue dive teams you have to be a member of the fire department.
I did the PADI Rescue Diver course a few years ago. Very interesting. Learned a lit about me and how to, and how not to, help people.
Awesome video! It's great to learn the difference between Public Safety Divers and Rescue Divers.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great information. I've been on a PSD team for 13+ years and am one of the team instructors. Other than being underwater, recreational and PSD diving are worlds apart.
In the late 80s I was a volunteer with a small rule rescue squad, and that was the level of training. They took us to the equivalent to rescue diver because we didn’t have public safety diver trained instructors in the area. I look back at those days and I consider myself very lucky I didn’t end up injured as a result of the bad practices we had.
James ,Thank you Sir and wishing you continued success , I recently completed PSD and APSD for my department….
I finished my PSD certificate here in Germany yesterday. Before, I did recreational diving for 20 years. You are absolutely right its completely different.
Here its is easier to get in touch with it, since Voluntary Rescue organizations like the Red Cross or the Lifeguards maintain dive teams which you can simply join and start the education.
Swiftwater rescue is done also by these organizations but mostly done by different personnel. But there are people who do both certifications.
Awesome video James.
Coincidentally in my case, taking the Rescue Diver course last summer lead me to volunteer with my local Dive and Rescue team. During the course I realized in the rare chance I ever need to use these skills, it's going to be to recover not rescue. 6 minutes, that's all the time we've got when something goes wrong.
We operate under the umbrella of the Sheriffs Dept. but are comprised fully of volunteers (Although some are also fulltime FD, EMT, and one ER nurse). Being a small county in SE MN right along the Mississippi, there aren't enough calls to warrant a full time team.
We are actually doing a training with an ERDI (yep never heard of ERDI before joining the team) shop in a couple weeks for a couple of us new guys to get dry suit and full face mask certified. Always nice when the county is paying for me to get some new certifications.
Not looking forward to the day I need to use these skills but, I'm happy to be part of a team that will bring someone home.
I save lives for a living (or as I prefer - delaying a death) and I'm also a course director for Advanced Life Support courses (i.e. I teach doctors, nurses and paramedics how to resusitate people effectively) and I've been doing my job for the best part of 40 years (1 year before my C-card was issued), and I often watch participants on 'rescue diver' practical courses and I am stunned at how much lack of evidence goes into these courses. There are two things we (healthcare professionals) know save lives; high quality CPR and early defibrillation. In water rescue breaths, and all the other bs is just that. The PADI / SSI / SDI et al all need to seriously update their training and teach their students to get people OUT of the water and jump on the chest - rescue breaths do nothing if blood is no longer going round and round. Oh and if you're not practicing your CPR every 3 months, then you're no longer competent - muscle memory folks.
Totally agree! “Just keep jumping to get the heart pumping.” Or, “No use waiting to dock to give the heart a shock.” Defibrillators should be mandatory equipment on ALL recreational dive boats.
Great job.
Public safety diving and regular diving aren’t in the same class, PSD is a dope on the end of a rope doing patterns, you’re diving in shit water, in shit trim, with shit sac, doing work. It is however very rewarding to bring a loved one back to their family, couldn’t care less about finding cars and evidence, but that’s apart of it too.
Some of us don’t tether, but pretty much right on. 6” viz is an amazingly clear pond.
Almost spot on but don't always doing patterns tethered, some of us have really good technology that stops that.
@@jamesbevan9989 in general it’s accurate, while some agencies have live scope side scan, Aqua eye, and diver mounted display sonar, it’s few and far between with how new the technology is, it also is dependent on what you’re searching for
@@achilles6312 yeah my PSD team has all the cool stuff. DIDSON, SS Sonar, heavy lift ROV and Kongsberg sector scan. But I remember the days of jackstay line searching.
💯💯 spot on. Thank you James for reviewing this.
Most important part James covered = you aren’t going from recreational ratings to PSD without being career first responder in 99% of the cases.
Being paid to be a tow truck SCUBA rigger called by local jurisdictions doesn’t necessarily make you a PSD either 😎
One exception is the Texas State Guard. They have a FEMA recognized PSD team and pull from their enlisted and officer ranks to join their team. You do have to have a minimum rescue diver cert and then work your way up from the ranks (Tender to Diver).
I am planning to take a Rescue Diver course soon I look at it as a "responsible Buddy" course. I want to have the skills to help if I encounter anyone in distress. PSD courses would be good to take but it is tough to gain acceptance from the Police Fire EMS community that a "Civilian" could be a good resource to have available.
Very good video! Great explanation about what a PSD does 😂
Spot on, mate! But, we dont like to mention the scuba bat signal. 🦇 It's a secret
The only thing I would add is that rescue diver is one of the best courses that can be taken by a recreational diver
Feels like a PSD diver can be a rescue diver but a rescue diver isn't a Public Safety Diver till later in their training?
Can you gwt psd for the skills without actually being on a rescue team?
❤
Who or where can you get the PSD course .
Erdi, Naui, PADI, Dive Rescue International and maybe some others.
Sports diver a better name
SCUBA bat signal ...😂😂😂
Having Rescue does not entail you to recover vehicles or victims... PSD is not for the recreational diver. It's a job and a shitty job. It's cold, blind (water resembles black or chocolate milk) and hopefully God is nice and doesn't give you debris, entanglement hazards, current or hazardous marine life. To give you an idea. I can't past mid forearm and I'm feeling around for a victim. It's not fun, ever.
I enjoy it more than looking at reefs. Working by feel to rig a class A wrecker to a submerged vehicle, training days chasing gator trails (where the water goes from dark to absolute black along a path), its surfacing an seeing snakes that I’m not fond of.
@JasonPrather-MSTI Definately a difference. Reefs are nice, having grown up in Ft. Lauderdale for 15 years but my favorite is large/deep wreck dives. I don't have to deal with Gators up here in Appalachia but man 44° water in Feb when you forgot your hood sucks.
