The Utah Department of Public Safety’s Dive Team and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office joined forces for a day of ice diving on Wednesday at Deer Creek Reservoir. A total of 30 members from the two departments dove into the icy waters in a joint team training day.
Members of the Riverside County Sheriff’s were working to become certified in ice diving under the team’s lieutenant and dive master. Due to the equipment assets and the unique diver skill sets, dive teams are often called upon to provide assistance to aquatic homicide investigations and accidental drownings.
