Indiana conservation officers from across the state will train to be SCUBA divers during the next few weeks.
Officers will learn use of underwater equipment, underwater communication, proper dive planning and safety protocols. As graduates of the three-week-long course, each will earn a master diver certification.
After training, the DNR's newly trained divers will return to their communities, where they will use their diving skills for water and ice rescue, as well as underwater search and recovery.
Conservation officers are dive training near Peru, Ind. Indiana currently has 30 conservation officers trained as divers.
