Greetings everyone from the land of Oz. Just would like to say hi to everyone, I've been reading the forums for a little over a year now, but have never sent out a thread till now. I am new to the public Safety diving scene but we don't get much action out here. Up until a couple months ago, the only diving I had got to do was recreational, cuz the diver's on our rescue squad was a good ol' boys club. (Kinda confusing).
I'm a member of a Public Safety Dept. as a Vol. FF, which is part of a County wide rescue squad. Then, our new Chief decided that he wanted a Dive team, so...we got a dive team (ok, not in the sence of some of the members here). We need lots of training, i know. I've heard that over and over again. But until we can get that training from professionals, we're still responsible for our area. We're gonna be doing some training, but I need some help. :icon4:
Does any one have training manuals, SOP's, SOG's, anything that I can get my hands on would help greatly!!! I've seen and ordered a couple books off the Internet. But I think info from real departments we do us more good than anything.
Sincerly
