Emergency Response Diver-1

This is a course designed to introduce the recreational diver to the basic skills necessary to participate in limited rescue/recovery diving operations. This course will result in either an ERD Apprentice or ERD-1 certification depending upon the experience of the diver.

This course will provide successful candidates with an orientation to the field of public safety diving and provide rudimentary skill training for supervised participation in rescue/recovery diving operations. The ERDA or ERD-1 will be able to operate as a basic team member and support person within a dive team organization.
