Dive RAID International (formerly RAID) is a dive training organization which was founded in 2007 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.

History

RAID was founded in 2007 by Barry and Celia Coleman to support diver training required for the Poseidon Mk VI Discovery Rebreather. RAID first developed training for rebreathers, they have since extended their programmes to include open circuit courses at both the recreational and technical levels. RAID offers a complete range of online diver academic programs from beginner to instructor examiner levels in snorkeling, scuba and freediving.[1]

Barry Coleman sold shares to Jim Holiday and Paul V. Toomer in 2014. Jim Holiday was CEO / President until 2018. During this time RAID experienced exceptional growth. Paul V. Toomer, previously Director of Technical Training for Scuba Schools International, was appointed as Director of Diver Training for RAID in 2014, and President in 2019.[2]

In June 2016 RAID joined the United States Recreational Scuba Training Council as the first associate member.[3] July 2016 they partnered with the Dive Pirates Foundation to bring adaptive scuba to more dive centers. Adaptive training is a system for adapting the skills training procedures to a better fit for the individual disabled but otherwise medically fit diver's personal requirements and abilities. The same theory, and skills training and assessment is used as for other divers.[4][5]

In October 2017, RAID obtained European Underwater Federation certification.[6] In April 2018 RAID is purchased by Kalkomey Enterprises, LLC to expand their range of outdoor courses.

In January of 2022, RAID was purchased by Dive RAID International, a management team composed of dive industry professionals. This group has broadened the RAID brand to focus more on the recreational/sport diving aspects of SCUBA. The agency is also active now in the Freediving and Public Safety Diving markets.

Recognition

RAID is a member of the United States Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC).[7][8]

RAID is a member of the Rebreather Training Council.[9]

RAID obtained CEN and ISO certification from the EUF certification body in October 2017 for the following certifications:[6][10]

  • ISO 24801-2 - RAID Open Water 20
  • ISO 24801-3 - RAID Dive Master
  • ISO 24802-2 - RAID Open Circuit Instructor
  • ISO 11107 - RAID Nitrox Speciality
  • ISO 11121 - RAID Try Open Circuit Diving
  • ISO 13293 - RAID O2 Service and Gas Blender

Certification issued by RAID is approved by the UK Health and Safety Executive for divers whose duties are described in regulations 10, 12, and 13 of the Diving at Work Regulations 1997.[11][10]

Training system

RAID differs from the rest of the industry by having a comprehensive online training system. RAID claims to have the most advanced training model in the industry today, with over 60 programs online.[12] Their no classroom approach covers their entire spectrum of training from snorkeling to rebreather diving. Delivering theory training online with no paper, no book and no plastic has allowed them to claim they have zero environmental impact. Once a course is passed the learner has lifetime access to that material. However, if a course is not completed in 6 months the learner will have to re-register. Academic material and certification are linked to the registration so, each student must register for their own class.[13] Classes are available via an app on mobile device for both Android [14] and IOS.[15]
