The Team
Each Code 3 diver has been trained as an ERDI public safety diver and must have ERDI 1 and 2 certifications following OSHA and NFPA standards. We also have state certified FDLE & ERDI crime scene technicians on staff. Additionally, team members are certified and trained to use a full-face mask (including wireless & hardwired communications), dry suit and under water rigging equipment before participating in any dive operations. Code 3 divers are required to attend monthly training taught by Code 3 Divers PSD instructors in order to maintain a standard of proficiency and knowledge.
Code 3 Divers has access to multiple marine vessels in both the public and private sector working with police and fire departments as well as the United States Coast Guard and maritime towing companies. Our inflatables and Rescue One Connector dive boats are equipped with side-scan and down-scan sonar technology and marine band radios.
The Code 3 Divers equipment trailer is stocked with sate-of-the-art gear to support all dive operations. It is self contained with 12v and 110 power, A/C, freshwater systems, computers and on-board WiFi. Along with standard dive BCDs, tanks, and regulators, Code 3 divers use underwater digital cameras and metal detectors along with our DJI Mavic 2 drones for aerial survey and reconnaissance missions.
