Clearwater fire divers were out at the Clearwater reef for an open water dive with some new team members. Great day on the water despite some sporty sea conditions. Also got to enjoy watching our friends from Uscg station sand key drilling on search and rescue.

April Dive Team Training Recap
We had a fantastic turnout for this month’s dive team training, with strong participation from both Police and Fire departments. The weather cooperated, allowing us to complete a successful session focused on search and recovery techniques and an overview of our dive equipment. It was a great opportunity to work with our current team and extend a warm welcome to our new members. Looking forward to the next one!

This months training is compass baseball. Divers utilize the rapid diver rescue kit, and take headings from the starting point. When the find each base they get a next heading to the next base. Fastest time highest psi at finish wins. This is a great drill for skill proficiency and air consumption. This drill was based off a recent missing swimmer case. Great work done by our dedicated divers.
