Mid Atlantic Public Safety Dive Forum

/ By

We are excited to announce we will be speaking at the Mid Atlantic Public Safety Dive Forum which is sponsored by the Port of Virginia. This event will run from September 25th – 29th, 2023 and we will be speaking on September 28th and again on the 29th.

We will be discussing contaminated water diving and the impact it has on our teams when disregarded!! It’s time to stop avoiding this topic in our industry and team leaders need to understand the bigger liability they are excepting by not being proactive in mitigating hazards for their team.

The second topic we will be discussing is close to our heart and is about what our dive team went through after a diver was injured and the road it put us on to either be successful or average. We will talk about how NePSD was born from the incident, along with the rebuilding process and what the team is currently doing. The next part of the discussion will be focused on our dive task-force and what it has gone through to operate at its current level.

We will update this post as more information becomes available.
