Surface Supplied Diving
- Forums:
I have been in contact with various law enforcement agencies & government personnel now both east and west coast they are all looking for a program in surface supplied diving, understand this is not using a AGA or Ocean Reef full-face mask, Please be skeptical on these 1 or 2 day courses, they give you enough information to get in a pickle.
Here is an e-mail I received.
