Critical Skills Diver training prepares Public Safety Divers (PSDs) to use repetition in training as a means to improve in-water confidence and competence. PSDs are introduced to the concepts of muscle memory, stress survival responses, and stress inoculation. Proper response to key underwater emergencies are examined and practiced. Student skill level evolves through repetition of familiar and unfamiliar challenges. Simply, this course introduces the knowledge and skills that help PSDs to develop the ability to prevent and/or survive a diving emergency.
