DEM Joint Training
Typically, at least once a year the URT conducts a joint
training exercise with the Department of Environmental
Management (DEM). The joint training consisted of DEM
taking the team on one of their patrol boats in order to
conduct a deep-water dive in the Narragansett Bay. The joint
training exercises provide a great benefit to the URT as it
allows not only for the team to practice deep water dive drills
in the open ocean, but also allowed for the team to
communicate with DEM officers to learn their policies and procedures in the event the
team is requested by DEM in the future.
Advanced Open Water Training
Newer members of URT completed the process of obtaining their PADI Advanced Open
Water certification through a certified instructor. These trainings took place at Beach
Pond in Exeter.
