Training doesn't stop when the sun goes down. 🌙

Our Dive Team was out on the water this week conducting critical nighttime operations and navigation training.

Training in low-to-zero visibility ensures our team is ready to respond whenever a call comes in. This session also focused on new operator familiarization, getting our newest members hands-on experience with our fleet and equipment.

Thank you to our dedicated volunteers/members who spent their evening sharpening these life-saving skills to keep our community safe!
