Dive Haven Closed

I need to know also, asap. I am with a Fire Dept putting together a dive team and need to do an OW certification on April 7. It has to be done in Ga.
If anyone has any info, please pass it on.

please tell me that your Fire Department is not planning on using newly certified OW (Open Water) divers as part of their search/rescue/recover "dive team" ?


a newly minted OW diver does not equal a trained Public Safety Diver.

Are you volunteering?

Everybody has to start training somewhere. Noone I know was born OW certified.

Your team is going to have to get training with a recognized agency. Don't start buying gear, till you get more info. Our team Commander can get your team off to a good start and train your Fire Department, thru ERDI International Training :: Home :: Welcome to Emergency Response Diving International :: English Were in Douglas County. Pm me with your contact info and I can get someone to contact you.

For those that are worried about our "new" dive team, we are affiliated through IDEA and PSDA. We are not freelancing. Man what a can opened.

I did get an email that said they are waiting on insurance.

Just like to say that Dive Haven has been open for divers since May 2010. I dove there last on the 26th September 2010.

Off my wrist computer, the water temp is quite a reasonable:
81F at 20'
70F at 50'
50F at 100'
45F from about 125' and below.

The visibility isn't that bad above the thermocline, but below you definitely need a flash light as its a touch dark.
