Public Safety Dive Gear
Public Safety Diving is a broad term that can cover law enforcement divers, fire department divers, search and rescue divers, search and recovery divers, and military divers. Public safety diving usually involves some type of work that needs to be done whether its water rescue, body recovery, ice rescue, search and recovery, or underwater evidence recovery. Public Safety Diving usually involves a PSD Team that has been trained to do the specific underwater task at hand, and to do it safely
Some of the typical scuba diving equipment on the market works for well for dive teams, however as PSD Teams grow and expand their knowledge and diving expertise they also tend to expand their operational abilities which many times requires specialized diving equipment that is specifically designed for Public Safety Divers. U.S. Water Rescue Dive Team specializes in extreme PSD Operations and has firsthand knowledge of the scuba equipment and accessories used in public safety diving. Please give us a call if you have any questions or can’t find the dive equipment you’re looking for! Though not currently on the site, USWR carries the full line of Public Safety Dive Gear from Aqua Lung / Whites.

Water Recovery Body Bag
13526
Regular price $169.99 Save $-169.99Why do Public Safety Divers, Law Enforcement, & Water Rescue / Recovery personnel need to use a body bag specifically designed for underwater recovery?
If a normal body bag is utilized while in water or underwater, it will fill with water while bagging the victim. The problem comes when personnel try to pick up the bag; water weighs about 62 pounds per cubic foot! The bag is now either to heavy to lift or starts to tear at the seams due to being over weighted.
Another commonly overlooked, but extremely important reason proper underwater recovery bags must be used: In some situations there may have been foul play in which Law Enforcement needs to investigate. Many Dive Teams will bring a body to the surface and then bag the body. This is a big NO NO for any situation that may possibly need to be investigated as a suspicious death. A Detective Team would not go to a homicide scene, drag the body outside, and then bag it. If the circumstances reveal there was a homicide for example, and the divers went down, picked up the body, lifted it into the boat, drove it to shore, and then bagged the body......an incredible amount of trace evidence would be lost! This is called mis-handling of evidence. Don't let this happen to your department or team. Please contact us if your agency needs training in Underwater Investigation.
Halcyon Infinity BCD
10.511.330
Regular price $1,042.00 Save $-1,042.00The Halcyon Infinity is not your typical buoyancy compensator. In fact, it establishes a new standard in single-tank diving, offering the unparalleled performance of a back mounted harness and the easy adjustability of a jacket BC. The heart of the Infinity BC is Halcyon’s Cinch Quick-adjust harness (patent pending). The Cinch harness is also available for double tanks and as an upgrade to existing Halcyon diving systems.
The Cinch Quick-adjust provides rapid adjustment of the diving harness, allowing an unprecedented fit and easy equipment removal. The Infinity also features Halcyon’s new deluxe Harness Pads, providing the ultimate in diving comfort and convenience.
The Infinity BC features Halcyon’s immensely popular Eclipse wing; the long, narrow profile supports a diver’s tank along his or her entire length, preventing unnecessary drag and minimizing in-water effort.
Key Components of the Infinity BC System
BACKPLATE:
As with most Halcyon products, an immense amount of behind-the-scenes work is required to create a plate we are proud to sell. Halcyon backplates have been refined over the years to provide the highest-quality finish and materials available. Small details like the unique bends near the bottom of the plate create an ergonomic curve, increasing diver comfort. Meanwhile our precise fabrication process ensures the quality you have come to expect from Halcyon. Each Halcyon backplate is cut from the highest quality stainless steel and sophisticated CNC machines mill every edge; this detailed process eliminates the sharp edges common with competitors’ plates. Machine polishing is augmented by individual handwork, perfecting both form and function.
The Halcyon backplate pocket is the most efficient means to store any of the various Halcyon inflatable markers with ease. Stowing your favorite lift device in a Halcyon Storage Pak provides a hassle-free storage place without compromising the ability for rapid deployment. The Pak bolts directly onto your backplate and the downward-facing pocket can even be used to stow the 6-ft. long Diver’s Life Raft.

Jackstay Search Kit
USWR-JSK
Regular price $255.00 Save $-255.00
This is the kit you have been waiting for. Complete with everything you need (except proper training) to conduct an effective underwater search pattern. All equipment is top of the line!
The kit weighs at least 35 pounds or more depending on which weights you select. Not just any bag will carry this weight. We have selected a US made heavy duty bag with a lifetime warranty. Carrying handles, HD zipper, black. The sides of the bag are mesh to allow quick drying.
The rope is a premium 3 strand nylon (4-stage construction). 5/16" (8mm) white with a yellow tracer.
The standard down-weights are 15 pound black mushroom weights. These weights work very well for most conditions involving still water with a muddy or soft bottom. You have the option to upgrade to a 20 pound or 30 pound river anchor. The river anchors are recommended for hard or sanding bottoms and moving / swift water (please do not attempt diving in moving water without proper training and certification). 20 & 30 lb weight are red, blue, or orange depending on availability (please let us know if you need a specific color).
The standard high visibility marker is a high quality 6" polyform buoy in red or yellow (depending on availability). You have the option to upgrade to a high visibility Heavy Duty 9" buoy. The HD buoys are recommended if you are opting for the 30 pound weights (due to the higher lift capacity) or if operating in rough water (since they are larger they are easier to spot from a distance). 9" buoys are white or red, depending on what is available at time of order (please let us know if you need a specific color).

Technical SpecsThe Whites Hazmat Drysuit material was tested using chemicals listed from the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) F903 Resistance of Materials used in protective Clothing to Permeation by liquids. The testing completed was done to the proposed National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1953 Protective Clothing for Contaminated Water Diving Operations.
Testing of the Hazmat Drysuit included permeation tests on new swatches of the Whites Hazmat material and seams. For testing Purposes the swatch acts as a partition separating the hazardous liquid from the opposite side. When permeation reaches a predetermined level (1.0mg/cm²) the time is noted and the breakthrough time is established. This gives the Diving Supervisors the information needed to make informed decisions about the safety of their diving personnel. To download copy of test results click Here

Regular price $99.95 Save $-99.95Metalsub Cylnder Bracket
SG-88000
Regular price $204.00 Save $-204.00With the Metalsub cylinder Quick Release System, cylinders can quickly be attached and detached. One half of the system is permanently attached to the CCR can, the other half is attached to the cylinder. For Public Safety Divers the Pony Bottle Bracket provides a solid and durable system that can quickly be released underwater with ease. Both halves can be attached using two stainless steel clamps or a tank band. Sold individually, each full kit is enough to mount one cylinder.
By pressing with the thumb of a spring loaded pin, the bottles are released. The plates are equipped with rubber strips for a better grip on the CCR can and cylinders. The metal is coated with a seawater-resistant coating.
The “short” version was originally designed to be used with our mini/ travel CCR canister and was necessary to allow the cylinders to sit slightly higher to avoid the valves from contacting before the bottom of the can. They are also a light weight version (about 20% lighter than the standard size).
Now featuring the “opposite” orientation so that both release buttons will be easily accessible from the rear of the rebreather!
