I'm looking at taking a job as a Public Safety Diver / Rescue Diver with the Canadian Coast Guard / Department of Fisheries and was wondering if anyone here has any info to provide.
I'm look for stuff like;
What standards they have in the recruiting process? What are some good courses to have before I apply?
Or what the job is like if I get in, pay, daily routine, actual coursing dates, stuff like that.
Thanks,
J

I don't think that there are any positions called Public Safety Diver in Canada, when i looked into this last year. I found that to dive for the CCG you first have to be an employee with them and the same for the RCMP, have to be a police officer first and then a diver, but I don't know about City Police.
I have heard of cases of when the CCG and Police divers can't do it they would call in the Commercial divers.
Hope this helps

Or the Navy divers, that also one other place you could look at. The reserve diver have Port inspection Diver. http://www.navy.forces.gc.ca/navy_im..._00226_pid.pdf
The regular forces have the Clearance Divers, which is not a direct entry trade, you need to be either a Port inspection Diver first or some other trade.
