Members from 4 of our local teams worked together this past weekend (Jan 29th and 30th). We primarily searched on sonar, HRD dog, and metal detector hits to clear those areas. Water temp was up a few degrees from the past weekend. Low 50's vs high 40's on the 23rd. Speaking with some people...
Multiple agencies are participating in the search efforts. Please pray for their safety, the family and community, and for a quick resolution. Below is an article from a local newspaper.

Let me start by saying that I like the look of the patch. It is a nice design. I often like the skulls on recreational dive apparel. But from a PSD standpoint, I have to agree with some of the others. I do not like the use of skulls in any of our PSD logos, patches, etc.
We too try to...
Thanks T.C. and Gary. We have met and talked about the call. I'm proud to say we have a close-knit group that looks out for each other. It is stressed often that at any call whether it be dive, fire, or medical, resources are always available to help deal with the emotional side or any other...
Received the call-out Sunday afternoon for missing 13-14 year old child in the Ocmulgee River. Report was that family was at the river when one child got into trouble in the water. While the father was helping that child, a second child experienced trouble and could not be helped.

Try Offshore Diver Charters. I have been with them several times and have always had an excellent time. It is ran by divers and won't harass you about a snorkel. (But you should wear one. :D) Sorry, Couldn't resist.
While I agree with the team concept 100%, I do not like the idea of the first diver rotating into the safety role. The safety diver is on standby in case of an emergency/problem. This diver should be fresh and readily available. PSD dives are stressful. And while the first diver may feel up...
Hey. Sorry I haven't offered any words sooner, but haven't been on much lately. I would suggest going and talking with your local team about what they do and the types of environments in which they dive. Also inquire as to any requirements the team may have for membership. Perhaps they may...
Yes I agree it is wise to have standardized equipment and techniques. Where I disagree is having a standard dictate the use of equipment or technique without considering the task at hand. I'll use search patterns as an example. We train using several different search patterns (Arc, Jackstay...
