My department is in the process of starting a dive team, and has no SOG's at this time. We are looking for SOGs for response & training.
Thank you

Check out the web site www.nasar.org (http://www.nasar.org) they have a very in-depth SOP for dive rescue/recovery team.

Check out Dive Rescue International. They can put you onto a book on setting up SOP's specifically for dive teams.

For the last five years I have been administrating the SOP project. It is a private endevor whose purpose is to help dive teams write or modify their dive sops.
Curently I have over 100 dive team sops on file and offer them in select groups to anyone who needs help. Please contact me directly at mphill9929@aol.com and request SOP Help. Remember to describe your team and department so I will have an idea of what you need. The June issue of Fire Engineering contained a very detailed article on Div Team SOPs and Defensive training. It will provide you with good fundamentals.

The SOP Project is free for the asking. If your team has existing SOPs, please feel free to send me a copy for the archive.
