If the PSD diver is trained and equipped per OSHA 1910 subpart T:

they could fill the role, otherwise no.

Shouldn't the dive tender be a quallified commercial diver, with the same quallifications as the diver he is tending?

What would one be doing downstream if there was a possibility of the dam failing? Im not that familliar with dams but this doesn't seem right. At least not manning the river.

I didn't see any mention in the article of there being a tender, or a dive supervisor. That leads me to suspect that it was a one man SCUBA show.
