Will the police, fire, coast guard, or other search and rescue teams out there accept help from volunteer divers?
I was watching the news last night and saw a team of divers searching for two childrens bodies in a body of water. They called off the search at night and were going to pick it back up at 8 am. Search area accessable from shore.
Would I be able to show up with gear and help. I would dive at night to continure the search if it would help them and they would let me. I am wondering if they would let me due to a crime scene area or other liabilities that may exist? Do you need rescue certifications or other certs to cross the ropes? If they accept help do the police/fire/... take a contact #'s from you in case they could use an extra hand in the future?
