    recommendation on new PS dive gear

    +1 for Dive Rite BP/W setup. Add what you need, my rig is very minimal, as are most of my teammates.

    Tethering Policy?

    Like Jared's team, we dive tethered most of the time. When we dive AGAs, we use the Mk7 comm gear with a comm rope attached via snap shackle. When we dive surface supplied with hats, we're tethered via umbilical, again with a snap shackle. We rarely dive untethered anymore, but we have the...

    Essential training for Public Safety?

    We use Dive Rescue International and send our divers through their Dive Rescue I course. It gives the basics on being a PSD. This course is not a recreational dive type course. We've hosted this very course three time over the past twelve years and I'm impressed how they keep it current. I...

    Mission Logging App?

    Hi Alberto, This is great! My team uses SeaWolff currently, but it seems there is little support for it and there have been no updates since we bought it. A mission app for us would be one we could eventually upload to some type of MS Office product for storage on our I.T. servers. Some of the...

    Body Recovery and Equipment

    We always mix up a batch of a decon solution and have it standing by in a backpack style weed sprayer. When our primary diver exits the water, they are escorted by their tender to a wash down station and sprayed with this solution. Depending on the severity of the exposure, we will rinse the...

    which Dry suit

    DUI Public Safety TLS350.... for the past four/five years... The material holds up better on the cheese-grater like concrete canal banks we slide down. Decon hasn't been an issue.... yet.

    Gas Switch Block

    We run our set up like Ditch Diver with the exception of having a bail out whip with a brass disconnect on our main line. We have a rescue tank and our surface supplied air that we can plug into the whip in the event of a major entanglement/entrapment situation.

    Gas Switch Block

    We ran the RSV for 5-6 years and had always wondered why we were filling our pony bottles when we hadn't switched to them. During our yearly maintenance we found out why, the water we dive has a fine sand particulate which had scored the walls of the housing and was allowing blow-by. We have...

    Dive Truck

    In 2007 we purchased a 2006 Wells Cargo 20' Toy Hauler. We had the dealer strip out the sofas/beds and spray the floor and the lower half of the walls with a bed liner material. They installed a drain in the floor so we can simply hose out the trailer after a call. The dealer installed a cargo...

    Pics of Patrol/Dive boat

    Contact Boulton Powerboats. We purchased a 24' aluminum hull, jet drive, full enclosed cabin from them in 2007. They met all of our specs and we ended up with a very very nice boat. Their people are great to work with. This was the first boat our agency purchased specifically for patrol, but...

    New Video from recovery three years ago

    Dennett Dam Known As 'Drowning Machine' - Video - KCRA Sacramento This recovery will probably haunt me until I retire (8 years btw...yea!!!). Text book case for people to wear PFDs. The second case they speak about actually occurred downstream of the dam.

    Patches - Hats

    We all pitched in and bought them ourselves. That way we can control who get's them. Our administration took the idea and bought coins for every team and assignment in our department. Those are a dime a dozen. We keep ours restricted to family, friends and fellow PSDs.
