Public Safety Diving requires proper training and practice.  There are many methods and techniques that can be used for different applications. Typically, the most knowledgeable and effective trainers are those that are active in "real life" scenarios and protocol.

Columbus SCUBA, Inc. (CSI) has remained exclusively committed to providing training and equipment for all public safety professionals involved in aquatic incidents. The public safety industry has witnessed a tremendous growth, particularly in the water rescue arena largely due to greater community involvement and the demand for preparedness for aquatic emergencies. CSI is a leader in preparing public safety professionals for aquatic incidents with an extensive list of course offerings covering diving, non-diving and trainer programs. The CSI training system is unique in that it draws on the expertise of an extensive network of public safety professionals which includes Blackwater SCUBA with the leadership of Steve Treinish (Instructor Trainer, Public Safety Diving Association and Water Rescue) and Andy Silverman (Instructor, I.A.N.T.D.
