Scientific River Dive Safety

In response to concerns about diving safety during mussel sampling, Heidi Dunn and Dan Scoggin (EcoAnalysts, Inc.), along with Mitch Osborne (USFWS dive safety board) recently developed a PADI distinctive specialty – Scientific River Dive Safety. The first class was taught to selected USFWS divers from all 6 regions at the National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, WV. The class consists of classroom, pool, and river sessions, where divers learn how to safely dive in flowing turbid conditions.
