Delta 1 Rescue Diving and Mpumalanga Inland Water Policing began recently with a National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI) Public Safety Diver (PSD) course.

The PSD course is internationally recognised and the team will be evaluated during the next couple of weeks.

He added that it had been a long two days and well worth it.
