What is an exactly EPA divers? Is this another scientific diving training?

Do you have any syllabus or curriculum?

Thanks in advance.

I am sorry.. I might not be clear enough.

I know what "EPA' means more than anyone else. I am in the same field. But, I have never heard anything about EPA diver. So, I would like to get more info.

The most well known Scientific diving programs are AAUS and NOAA in U.S. I am sure you knew this very well since you were in FSU-Scientific diving program between 2001 and 2004.

Could you please compare EPA diver with AAUS and NOAA programs?

In addition, is there any link to get more info about EPA divers?

If there is anything different and new compared to AAUS and NOAA, I am wondering if your program opens to the public, too.


Thanks in advance,

Here is a little information on the EPA program.


The training is modeled after and has reciprocity with NOAA's science diver training.

The program does take students from other state and federal agencies and EPA contractors.

Interesting, but I don't get the photo of the guys tending divers while wearing their dry suit. Was it really cold out or are you just trying to heat stroke your surface crew?

 

[rmediver2002]

Divers rotate through stations in teams of five, the surface supplied dives are short fam. dives so while two members are making a dive the other two tend and the dive master candidate supervises.

The divers are wearing drysuits for hazard protection training not for cold.
