Emergency Response Diving International (ERDI) is the premier public safety diving (PSD) training agency, specifically designed for police, fire, EMS, and other public safety professionals. Established in 2000, ERDI was created to address the unique hazards of emergency response diving—zero-visibility "black water" operations, contaminated environments, victim recovery, evidence preservation, and high-risk scenarios where recreational or technical training falls short.
All ERDI programs are fully compliant with OSHA scientific diving regulations and NFPA 1006/1670 standards for technical search and rescue. ERDI is recognized as the global leader in PSD training, used by major agencies (including FBI dive teams, state police, and large municipal fire/rescue departments), and is the only PSD agency with its own liability insurance and independently endorsed standards.
