  1. Good evening,

    I’m based out of Miami and I’m wondering if you host classes in Fort Lauderdale or in my local area for public safety diver. I currently work for Miami Beach fire rescue as a lieutenant. Also wondering if you do have any classes coming up anywhere within the United States for public safety diver.
