RAID Public Safety Diver (PSD) Course

“Dive Into Service – Prepare for the Challenges of Public Safety Diving with The Divers Club in Bodrum”

Course Overview
The RAID Public Safety Diver (PSD) Course, offered by The Divers Club, is designed to train divers for the high-stakes, demanding world of public safety diving. This course prepares participants to handle emergency scenarios such as search and rescue, evidence recovery, and site evaluation for law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and professional security teams.

Public safety divers face extreme challenges, from zero visibility and hazardous environments to working in contaminated waters. Unlike recreational divers, PSDs are on call 24/7, tasked with missions that can save lives or recover critical evidence. At The Divers Club in Bodrum, we deliver world-class PSD training tailored to meet these rigorous demands, ensuring divers are equipped for any situation.
