Aqua Lung Military, public safety, and professional divers equipment. | Rapid Diver | Aqua Lung America has revitalized their program for Public Safety clients including a network of Aqua Lung Public Safety dealers. A Public Safety Buyers Guide is available to assist and guide equipment selection. A recommended list of equipment has been developed to identify products suitable for use by Public Safety divers.

Public Safety Diving and Surface Water Rescue activities are by their nature very different from recreational diving.  The importance of appropriate training, equipment, and experience for Public Safety Diving and Surface Water Rescue can not be stressed strongly enough.  While these are excellent reference materials, in no way should this information be considered a replacement for proper training for the specific type of activity in which you plan to participate.

This section is provided as a community service in support of the professionals in the Public Safety Diving and related fields who serve in Minnesota and across the country every day.  It is hoped that these Public Safety reference materials may in some way help to make their job a little easier... and much safer.
