Premiere Public Safety Diver Training & Certification
Northeast Public Safety Divers
Turning Training, Into Responding
We Train to the Same Standards We Dive
All of our staff divers are current public safety divers and dive supervisors on active emergency dive teams.
We bring 100% of that experience to our students.
Northeast Public Safety Divers (NePSD) is a full-service public safety diver training service, that is fully mobile to bring dive courses right to you.
We are 100% committed to elevating the craft of public safety divers through proven training programs backed by the leading certifying agency for public safety divers, Emergency Response Diving International (ERDI).
We Refuse To “Just Teach Skills”
All of our courses come packed to the brim with experience-driven operational techniques. Students learn exceptional dive skills, and where those skills fit into an emergency operation.
We teach the whole package. With passion.
