HEMSI Dive Team

The HEMSI Dive Team provides free public safety and rescue diving services to Huntsville and Madison County, Alabama.


This ten-person, all-volunteer Team aids in the recovery of drowning victims in a caring and professional manner. When possible, Team members attempt to rescue victims who are within “the golden hour” -- the vital 60 minutes after a drowning is first reported.   The Team also participates in securing, evaluating, and investigating underwater crime scenes. 

All divers are trained by Dive Rescue International, Lifeguard Systems or Tennessee Association of Rescue Squads, Inc. (TARS).  In addition, the Dive Team functions as a Swift Water Rescue Team.  Members also encourage education, training, and knowledge of SCUBA and Public Safety Diving.
