LAFD Members Receive Technical Dive Training

10 members of the LAFD Dive Team turned to Unified Team Diving (UTD), headquartered in Carlsbad California, for technical dive training.  Members received training in technical dive essentials, twin tanks, side-mount diving, and instructor development.  "This was a great opportunity to learn advanced skills and protocols" says dive team member Steve Meiche.  "The philosophy, critical skills, team concepts and situational awarness parallels with public safety diving.  "We as emergency response divers have much to learn from UTD's equipment configuration and protocols," Meiche continues.  

"I think taking these classes has made us all better divers" states back-up diver Jason Teter.
