Welcome To The Show!
Welcome to The Dive Locker Podcast, the podcast for dive professionals where we bring you the latest in diving industry resources that make you excellent at teaching techniques, risk management and dive business.
Today we catch up with one of the newest dive training agencies on the block. RAID. RAID stands for The Rebreather Association of International Divers (RAID). It is a dive training organization which was founded in 2007 by Barry Coleman to support diver training for the Poseidon Mk VI Discovery Rebreather. It has since extended its scope to include open circuit scuba training and training for both recreational and technical diving sectors as well as snorkeling and freediving. Today I interview RAID’s iconic president Paul Toomer. And you will learn so much about why this training agency is different and turning many heads.
