ERD 1 class a big success

Fifteen divers from Appling S.O. , Milan VFD and Jeff Davis-Hazlehurst VFD all took part in a 40 plus hour Public Saftey Dive training.

ERDI is the Public Safety diving (PSD) agency that trains Police, Fire and other public safety organizations in Search and Rescue techniques in just about every submerged environment known.   ERDI trains departments on how to make and maintain their own PSD teams along with being the only Public Safety diving training agency that has their own insurance that endorses its own standards.  All ERDI programs are OSHA and NFPA compliant. In fact, some of the largest successful and renown departments use ERDI Programs to conduct their training.

Divers  in this course trained in the basic skills necessary for participation in limited open water public safety diving activities. The ERD I divers are now able to operate as a team member and support person within a dive team organization.  This course is the first step that is recommended for all teams and their members. It is the building block to developing an organized team and operating safely as one unit.
