Public Safety Diving Association & Water Rescue Inc. (PSDA & WRI) is the largest public safety diving and water rescue organization world wide.  PSDA & WRI training directors are all professional Firefighters, Rescue and Law enforcement officers.  PSDA & WRI has been training public safety divers and water rescue members since 1980. PSDA & WRI was originally the public safety division of IDEA.

PSDA & WRI is now a completely separate organization and specializes only in the training of public safety divers and water rescue professionals. It is an autonomous division of IDEA SCUBA Inc. PSDA & WRI directors recognized the need for a separate public safety dedicated association. Quality public safety training requires specialized training and complete separation from sport diving and technical SCUBA training. PSDA & WRI is a 100% dedicated public safety organization. Even though PSDA & WRI and IDEA are completely separate corporations, PSDA & WRI is able to cooperate on a special business level with IDEA SCUBA Inc., their affiliates, World Wide Scuba Inc. and IDEA supply affiliates.

PSDA & WRI also offers scholarships for training to members of public safety departments. Scholarships are available to Law enforcement, Rescue and Firefighters, both full time and volunteer.
