Surface air and Public Safety Diving

The Massachusetts State Police, along with the other North Eastern State Police Underwater Recovery Teams, have been training in Surface Supplied Air diving and it has become a part of the FEMA/ NIMS standard for hazardous and contaminated water recovery missions. It is used in areas where there is a specific location and divers will be down for longer periods of time. It also enhances crime scene capability, safer evidence and human remains recoveries as well as being safer for the divers. Surface supplied diving can also be equipped with live video imagery that the investigators can see at in real time.
